Fullscreen window across multiple displays

lv flag

I'm trying to play video in fullscreen with mpv player on 4 equal displays combined as one. It works with the nouveau graphics driver, but the framerate is very poor. I want to make it work with the proprietary nvidia driver but the window extends to just one display. I'm using

xrandr --setmonitors 

to combine the four displays. Any ideas?

UPDATE:

I found that I need custom xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ It can be generated by nvidia settings and tweaked a bit. I changed: "Xinerama" to "1" and "BaseMosaic" to "on"

In my case this configuration works for 2 monitors. I will test it with 4 in the near future.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
