Like Marc already pointed out I am using SDL so that the resolution
is switched to a smaller one while playing videos full screen. I'll
check if I can achive the same effect with the x11 driver.
Thanks, please report back, so I can try the same thing on a sparc64.
Looks like it is equal fast, but the usability is not existant with the
x11 driver. SDL will start the movie in a window and I can press 'f' which
will change the screen resolution and gives me a full screen view of the
movie without window decorations. The -vm option together with the x11
driver will a) switch immediatly to a new resolution and b) let my window
manager position the window somewhere on the screen. Not good, I can tell
mplayer to not grab the mouse pointer and then the window is movable (as
long as it is still visible in the smaller section of the screen that is
shown). I'm sure that I can work around the window positioning problem,
but I would really miss switching from "full screen" to window mode back
and forth. So for now I would opt for keeping the SDL flavor.
Kind regards,

so, basically you want pressing 'f' to get you full screen in a smaller
than normal video mode?
Right. Small things make me happy.
Perhaps there is already such a thing in mplayer and I did not find it?
Kind regards,
Markus
