Hi,<br><br>Sorry, there is a misunderstanding regarding what is working. Scaling works fine as long as it is done after the movie starts.<br><br>If I start mplayer, and then click the 'maximise' button on the window, it maximises just fine.<br>
<br>However, if I configure my window manager (kwin) to automatically maximise mplayer windows on start, they are not maximised, but instead snap back to the default size when the movie starts.<br><br>A long long time ago, this used to work properly.<br>

Hi Arren,<br>
<br>
I'm in the process of cleaning up old bugreports. This is a really old<br>
one, and I need to apologize for not coming to this earlier.<br>

Does adding -zoom help here? From the manpage:<br>
<br>
-zoom<br>
Allow software scaling, where available. This will allow<br>
scaling with output drivers (like x11, fbdev) that do not sup-<br>
port hardware scaling where MPlayer disables scaling by default<br>
for performance reasons.<br>
<br>
<br>
That should fix it for all drivers but xv. If this problem is only with<br>
xv, then this needs to be fixed in the radeon drivers.<br>
