Without TwinView -vo x11 (which has horrible performance) will be the only
one being able to show something on more than one displays.
And please explain in more detail what you get with
mplayer -fs -fstype none -xineramascreen -2
preferably including the full MPlayer output after also adding -v to the
commandline.

Not per se, but they both rely on your window manager to support those
features in a sane way (or maybe more precisely in the way MPlayer
expects them to work)...
