[MPlayer-cygwin] mplayer On windows support multi-monitor?

[Anton Ragnarsson]

Hi Rune,

I'm using an integrated CLE266 chip together with a PCI Radeon card.
Since mplayer checks the overlay formats after selecting one of the
adapter, I don't see why it would get the overlay formats wrong?

It won't support moving the window between different monitors
while running. However, this was not my problem. I simply wanted
to run mplayer on my TV without having to set the TV as primary
or sacrificing overlay support. And that works now =)
