 |
|
i installed XGL today and it works flawlessly. however, when i play videos while XGL is enabled, they are wider than they should be: 4:3 videos look closer to 16:9, and 16:9 is even worse. specifying the width/height at the command line doesn't help either. i found that when i disable the XGL server and just use the normal X server (i.e., by commenting out the relevant lines in gdm.conf), the videos display just fine.
i'd really like XGL and mplayer to coexist--can anyone help?

| Have you tried the -monitoraspect and -monitorpixelaspect options? |

the command
| Code: | | -monitoraspect 16:10 video.avi |
displayed video at the correct aspect ratio, but when i added -monitoraspect 16:10 to ~/.mplayer/config, this came up when i tried to play a file:
| Code: | | Option -monitoraspect needs a parameter at line 3 |
which parameter do i need?

The syntax of ~/.mplayer/config is a bit different. At least one of these (but probably all) should work: | Code: | | monitoraspect=16:10 |
| Code: | | monitoraspect=16/10 |
