I mean, we are trying to use a panoramic screen in vertical position (600x800 for example) but when we play a video with "mplayer -vo xv" it doesn't fit the windows and the video itself it is not rotated (since other elements of the screen,like desktop, are). So, we have tried to rotate the video manually with "mplayer -vf rotate=" but, although it got rotated, it doesn't fit the windows again.

Sorry for this late answer.
The openChrome driver does not support rotated Xv at the moment, and as 
far as I know, there is no hardware support for rotation in the 
unichrome Chips. But the Unichrome Pro group A chips have  hardware 
support for this, and it might be supported in the openChrome driver in 
the long term future.

Unfortunately I've looked very little into how the X screen rotation 
works, so ATM I'm unable to help you to find the best way to solve your 
problem. Yo don't mention what type of hardware you have, but perhaps it 
is fast enough to use the Xshm video option instead of Xv?

Thomas
