[MPlayer-users] multiple mplayers on multiple outputs

[Alexandre CONRAD]

Hello,

I'd like to know if it's possible to have multiple mplayer's running 
under linux over multiple VGA cards (I know it is, actually, right ?).

I have a PC with one onboard VGA/AGP output (ATI) connected to a screen 
with mplayer playing a playlist (lot's of 'play', huh ?). And I'd like 
to have an extra VGA/PCI(?) card and have an other mplayer instance 
playing a different playlist on a different screen. Like having two 
separate TV channels.

I'm in text mode and I'm launching mplayer using xinit. It reads the 
mplayer command line from ~/.xinitrc:

   /usr/bin/mplayer -vo xv -playlist playlist01.txt

so I would like to display on another VGA card (to another screen):

   /usr/bin/mplayer -vo xv -playlist playlist02.txt

This might not be the right list to ask to and clearly seems to be an X 
display issue. But I don't know much about X yet and maybe someone has 
experience the same application and would rlike to share experience o 
someone would help me getting on tracks.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
