mplayer projector problems with Fedora

[Rui Miguel Seabra]

I don't know if its possible to use Xv on the external monitor.

If it is, I'd also like to know, but I haven't really looked into it yet
anyway. With my last laptop, with a Savage IX-NX (I think) I couldn't
see any Xv contents in the external monitor. I just assumed it wasn't
possible.
