Hi I have a Voodoo 3 3000 with TV-Out. Normally I am running it w/ resolution 1024x768 (since the monitor I currently have sucks...) Anyway, when I wan't to use the TV-Out I have to switch the resolution to 800x600 in order to get working picture (By pressing ctrl-alt-num+). But since the "virtual" desktop is still in resolution 1024x768, mplayer opens the fullscreen window of that resolution. To get "fullscreen" window that for that other resolution I have run mplayer -x 800 -y 600, and then had some pain get the window cover just the visible area... (`xwit' has helped lately, but that is not good for general use). Now, I suggest that int the future, there should be option to open borderless mplayer window in user spesified size and coordinates (or, coordinates can also be +0+0). The first suggestion of options to do this could be that if -x and -y are used w/ -fs, borderless window w/ upper left coordinates of 0,0 and given size (parsed as now) is opened. Currently (as CVS 20011012) -x and -y options seems to have no effect when -fs is used. The problem here is that what if user has defined some defaults for -x and -y in some config file -- and it is expected that -fs always opens fullscreen window -- that would not work together as expected... more complex configuration/commandline handling could handle this, but may cause suprising results for users (and more traffic to this list ;/) Therefore I suggest another option -- good old X `-geometry' -option. If this option is used, the window is forced to this size and position (the same sizing heuristic that is used w/ -x and -y could be used). If -fs is given, the window will be borderless and if not, it will work like now, just that position can be given there. Another option could be `-fsgeometry', if -geometry is too generic. What do you think -- I can even patch the agreed solution in, if there is one to become. Tomi
