I've a laptop I've which I dual head at home with an lcd monitor. It works fine apart from videos (of any type). The laptop alone plays them fine but I can't see them on the lcd dual screen under M-player. the strange thing is that Avidemux plays them no problem at all. Under M-player I get sound but a blank blue video screen. The lcd plays them fine too when connected directly to the server. 10.1
I have a dual head setup with Matrox G450, and MPlayer behaves like that in normal mode. But if I change the video output driver to x11, MPlayer is able to play (with a moving picture) on both screens.
mplayer -vo x11 yourmovieclip.here.avi
