Automatically choose the right screen for the full screen

[M@dinko12]

Hi there,
I have a dual screen monitor, and if I want to choose the screen for the fullscreen feature, I have to change an XVideo parameter in the preferences. I think it should be better if, like in the most part of current video programs, you could choose the right screen more easily : if you're doing your two clicks in the left screen, it changes the XVideo parameter with the right variable (1 for example) (and get the full screen in the left screen) and the same in the right screen (with 0 for example).

Can you help me to change the source code to do that ? Where do I search ?

Thanks,
In a friendly way,
M@dinko12

Edit: ewtch. The choosen category seems to be wrong. If someone could move that post in the right one... Sorry.

So, this is linux. Topic Moved

The code to change is in modules/video_output/x11/common.c

Thanks j-b.
So, I must get the mouse position. If 0 < x < 1280, set the variable [?] to 0 (left screen). Else, set it to 1 (right screen). That's it ?

Thanks for help,

Bump. I can compile the 1.0.0-git version, it partially works : if I double click on the right screen, the video get full in the right screen, but with the scale of my left screen. The left screen works well. Otherwise, I have some problem with the 1.0.0-git, segmentation failure especially. And doing « sudo make install » won't work :

and nothing appends..

When I lauch it "normally", it sometimes crashes :

Edit : Erf... Now, the fullscreen feature don't work. Yesterday, everything was ok... That's very wreid.

Edit2 : Ho ! When I choose X11 as video Output module, it works perfectely with 1.0.0-git. But VLC have some bugs then (up ^)...

Thanks !
