hi there,

i would like to point out that it's not currently possible to play
an divx video across 2 screen's in with an xinerama setup.

for 1 the -xinerama option is gone , i did not find it in the
source-code
for 2 there's anothner undocumented option -xineramascreen , which
behaves completly different , as you can't say -xinerama 0-1 . :-(

where is this option gone ?

i have been able to use mplayer on both screens with the X11 Output , (
as this does not use hardware overlay, which is why its black on one
screen with Xvideo ) but , the x11 - output is NOT zoomable !!! 

x11 output with opendivx format does function perfectly
x11 output with ms divx  format does NOT scale ! i have no clue why.

i tried -x -y -xy options


do you know why ms-divx is not zoomable with x11 output ?
