Ah you're using totem-xine, not totem-gstreamer. Could you try with
xine?
With xine I also get plain blue instead of video on my right screen.
Ok, so xine has the same behavior as totem-xine (which relies on
libxine), so this looks like a libxine/xine issue to me. Hence, I'm
reassigning to the xine package.
That's a hardware limitation of the matrox card: XVideo only works on the
first head. If you must use the second screen, you'll have to use XShm
video output. (In xine, you can use the "-V Xshm" switch. Don't know how
to switch output drivers in totem-xine...)
I wouldn't recommend that, unless your machine is _very_ fast, though.
XShm's software rendering eats lots of CPU.
If your X server supports hardware accelerated OpenGL, that would be a
viable alternative. (use "xine -V opengl" to test).
