Hello,
I'm playing with the experimental version of xserver-xorg-video-ati
(6.7.196-2).
I'm using a big desktop configuration with a LCD computer screen on
the vga output and LCD TV on the DVI output.
I want to use the TV screen to watch films.
When I play a video on the first screen, the video is fine. But I want
to play a video on the second screen, I choose
the 16:9 aspect ratio in gmplayer, the video is shifted to the up of
the screen. It mean I see a black rectangular area on the bottom of
the screen.
Is the problem related to gmplayer or to xserver-xorg-video-ati?
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
This *sounds* like you're having a problem where the screens have a
different vertical resolution and since X deals with a rectangular
virtual desktop [0] there is dead space above the second screen but the
video output is centered vertically on the virtual desktop not the
resolution of the screen.
You can probably tell mplayer to move things down, or you could get your
second display to center on the virtual desktop using something like
Option "CRT2Position" "LeftOf 176"
in your xorg.conf if you're using MergedFB, instead of 176 you'd use
half the difference in vertical resolution between your primary and
secondary displays.
Good luck and let us know how it goes, if you have more questions post
here but you may want to include more details.
[0] I think this the true irrespective of weather your using MergedFB,
XRandR or Xinorama and probably TwinView
