Reimar,

Well I have it working in my code now... and it works well for the most
part. In fact I just committed it to gnome-mplayer svn...

1 minor issue... when using xv, panscan to 1 and then panscan back to 0
and this sometimes leaves artifacts on the screen where the video used
to be. I used to work around this in the code by keeping the drawing
area snapped to the video size, I no longer do that and give mplayer the
entire drawing area. So I can't cleanup these artifacts in my code
anymore cause I don't own the drawing space.

Let me know if you change how this works (ie the -fs requirement) I have
made this functionality optional (disabled by default). So I understand
this is a moving target at the moment.

Kevin
