hi

i am using a t41 with gentoo (kernel 2.6.7, xfree4.3). 
for mplayer i have to use the x11 output driver to see anything on the 
external monitor. the default (on my system) xv output driver shows the movie 
only on the lcd.
unfortunately some more options needed for fullscreen/scaling with the 
x11-driver.

mplayer -vo x11 -zoom -xy 1024 -fs -sws 2 dvd:// 

good luck
tiko.
