no cigar! mplayer -geometry 800x800x1x1 some-file.mpg Error: 'geometry' is not a mplayer/mencoder option command line: -geometry
Likewise, xterms can be started with the geometry option set, but subsequent windows do not inherit that position. i.e. xterm -geometry 800x800x1x1 (in that spawned xterm) mplayer some-file.mpg starts the mpg in the dead center of the screen, same as with no options. any other thoughts?
