I am trying to make gnome-mplayer play a video in fullscreen on my second screen. I am using a Nvidia card with xineramascreen. Below is my ~/.mplayer/config file.

[default]
xineramascreen=1

[gnome-mplayer]
ao=alsa:device=hw=1.0
msglevel=all=5
alang=English,eng,en
slang=English,eng,en
xineramascreen=1

The options have no affect, it plays on my primary screen as usual.

Running mplayer -xineramascreen 1 works perfectly, I just want gnome-mplayer to work since it's nicer to use with GUI and Nautilus integration etc.

When starting gnome-mplayer, you can try exporting the display: export DISPLAY=0.0; gnome-mplayer (change 0.0 to the desired display).
