I have xinerama dual-screen setup - laptop plus a _larger_ external one.

It did have a problem with fullscreen on the second screen:
it only uses the width of the smaller 1st screen, with the remainder black.
   i.e., mplayer is taking the full 1280x1024 second screen, but the
video is only show 1024 pixels wide, presumably as it is using the
width of the first screen.

Using "-xineramascreen 1" has solved the problem. Perhaps the option 
should be added to the man page and '--help' output please?
