Mouse and mplayer included. However, if you want to enlarge your desktop to two monitors (with independent workspaces), you want to arrange them (both logically and physically) side by side, or whatever. Then, if you move the mouse to the right edge of the left display, it will "continue" to go to the right display, and so on. Similarly, you can drag&drop the mplayer window into the second monitor. Also, there is certainly some CLI way to tell mplayer where to open the window, etc. What exact problem do you have with this? HTH, :-) Marko
