Holy crap.  I am the dumbest person alive.  I've been using mplayer for 
close to 10 years now and I always thought it was funny than xinerama 
would take an argument with a dash, dash 2 or dash one, it never occured 
to me that those were negative numbers with special meanings and that 
you could also put in positive numbers to represent a given screen.  I 
am blushing.

The following line does exactly what I want it to:

mplayer.exe filename -quiet -slave -vo direct3d -xineramascreen 1 -fs

I seem to be having a bit of an issue with "loadfile" in slave mode 
(using -idle -fixed-vo), but I'll start a new thread for that (after I 
re-read the man pages again....)

thanks,
