[mdlug] mplayer full screen

[gib at juno.com]

Thank you Ray. Your instructions are clear I just don't have the wrench.  Also I don't have the xv driver.  Tried the xv option and I got a clear error message indicating that I should run xvinfo.  I ran xvinfo it said that I had no driver.  

I tried installing the latest driver for the video card when I installed the card.  Too much like going to the dentist (painful).  I'd need to make sure I had the right environment, compiler . . .

If I wanted this to be like work I'd come up with a plan to get the proper software.

There are different skins, but the the default fits your description. At
the far right is a round button with a large upright "X" which closes
the player. At the far left is a similarly situated round button with a
floating "x chromosome" looking thing. I interpret this as a double end
wrench. It opens the preferences dialog.

You could try "mplayer -vo xv" for instancem, and see how you like the
results. And if you want to avoid having to type in extra command line,
you can put you preferences in your personal config file. It's
interesting that mplayer seems to keep two config files: one for the gui
version (~/.mplayer.gui.conf) and one for the command line version
(~/.mplayer/config). This is especially funny because, on my system at
least, /usr/bin/gmplayer is a symlink to /usr/bin/mplayer!

Any clearer?
