Hi Rich!

Yes, indeed, with -vo mga the geometry option doesn't do anything :(

I tried with -vo fbdev and it works, but shows the movie in the upper-left corner, not
the upper-right corner ... Something weird is that with -vo fbdev I cann't switch consoles
(alt+F<> doesn't work), something I intented to do in the first place.

Thanks anyway for the tip!
