|
|
Heya
Is there a strait-forward way to get a working video wall (i.e. running a widescreen HD video over two monitors) in Gentoo?
Most of the “solutions” I found don’t work, or need specific X.org config setup.
Best,

Greetings,
Not sure if you have tried / "been given this solution", but have you tried running it with Xinerama?
Just a thought.

Yes I tired it:
Code: | mplayer -xineramascreen -2 video.file |
That did not work. |

Okay,
How about trying this:
Code: | ~ $ mplayer -fstype none -xineramascreen -2 video.file |
or
Code: | ~ $ mplayer -fstype -fullscreen -xineramascreen -2 video.file |
HTH. Let us know. _________________ ________________________

Both kinda work. It starts and when I press F it goes to video wall mode, but the launcher/panel/systray are still on top. It also stops working if I move the mplayer window.
When I start an extra X server without a desktop environment it works perfectly. A bit inconvenient, but better than nothing
Thx,

What if mplayer not scalling video and just output as it recorded size and not use all screen space? |
