Erm, no. xine has an ordinary fullscreen mode, in which it behaves like it should (and you describe). It also has and a separate "Xinerama fullscreen" mode (capital F or -F at the command line) that uses the xinerama_screens option to decide which screens to use. When using Xinerama fullscreen with ion in non-xinerama mode, this works. If ion is in xinerama mode, I get half of the full-sized window displayed on the physical screen it's launched from and haven't yet found a way to see the other half. I'd expect ion to somehow give me a chance to see the part of the window that should be on the other screen. Videos aside, sometimes I'd just like to have one awfully big window, even while in Xinerama mode. Sadly, I have only a very diffuse idea of what Xinerama even does for the window manager, but since ion manages to draw window boundaries across screens, I assume putting a window on both physical screens shouldn't be impossible? > (And I would be annoyed beyond words if video apps tried to > fullscreen themselves over all screens, since I only have Xv on one, > all the resolution on the screens are different. Actually, I already > hate Xine because it's completely broken on Xinerama setups.) Xine has options allowing you to specify xinerama screens and window geometry. Not that _I_ like xine that much, it's just that I couldn't get mplayer to do the span-both-monitors thing at all and so ended up trying xine. ciao, -- [*Thomas Themel*] > Das war nur ein Beispiel.
