Playing videos in external monitor

[Juan Casanova Rodriguez]

Thanks!!

It worked perfectly!

The only problem I have now is that when I select full screen on mplayer
looks like the resolution is bigger than the screen res, and I have to
scroll the screen until I center it on the screen.

The dark side of it, is that I have found a green dead pixel on the
screen :'(

Thanks!
