Btw. try running MPlayer with -v and look out for a line like
> vo: X11 running at 1360x768 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local display)
In my case that is the reason for all the issues, the DisplayWidth
is (possibly intentionally) broken it seems, e.g. for me
it returns the resolution I used when X was started, but not the
one that's actually used currently.
In the past (and probably even now if you configure it via xorg.conf) this
would be the size of all xinerama monitors combined, and that's what it
has to be for MPlayer to work.
