[MPlayer-users] X geometry options

[Steven A. DuChene]

the -geometry option works for only certain video output
devices. If you look at the man page and read the description
of the geometry option you will see this. I am using the
special nvidea vdpau output device and using the geometry
option with that works just fine.

X applications typically handle this with a -geometry command-line option, but that doesn't seem to be implemented by mplayer.  My question: how can I tell mplayer to simply put the player window anywhere on the screen without having me to mouseclick?
