Hi!!

I have this problem. I cannot use mplayer on full screen mode. Neither
games such as quake II. Actually I can only play Quake II in a very
small window and I can only watch movies with mplayer in a very small
window too. I have an sparc ultra 10 creator 3D running with Solaris 9.
If I try Quake or mplayer on full screen mode it works very very slow.
Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Carlos Buj

Hi,

I am running s10b69. For mplayer the -zoom option helped, although
it runs really sloooow. I.e. continuous framedropping, which does not
appear on the same machine running linux. Concerning Quake I cannot
tell you anything...

Cheers,

Tom

It's the same for me. With the zoon option runs really slow and
continuous framedropping....

u60 + xvr-500 with mplayer -vo gl2
full-screen 1600x1280 & cpu idle ~50%

I have a runquake shell script to start up quake "maximised".

./quake.xil -winsize 1275 988

- you should be able to adjust those figures (x, y) any way you wish,
those numbers are good for a maximised window in 1280x1024 CDE. The
Ultra 10 may not be able to run very fluidly at that frame rate (my U60
can only barely handle it) so oyu may wish to halve those figures and
use "+pixel_multiply 2".

Quake 2 I cannot persuade to run particularly well under any
software/OpenGL circumstances.

mplayer suffers from a problem I believe is prevalent in almost all
older SPARC systems (and I've no idea if that has ever been seen to), a
lack of video hardware scaling.
