Re: [STUMP] [BUG] problem with mplayer fullscreen

Hi Gwern!

I cc:ed the list (hoping you don't mind), because it could be a common
problem.

I don't think it's an mplayer.conf problem:

=====
address@hidden:~$ cat /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
### mplayer DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
#device for dvd
dvd-device=/dev/cdrom
#truetype font, using fontconfig
fontconfig=1
font='Sans'

### END OF DEBCONF AREA.  PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.

address@hidden:~$ cat ~/.mplayer/config
# Write your default config options here!

address@hidden:~$

Thus it's the Marillat's package, not the official Debian one ;-)

Thx, bye,
