   `vlc --vout ggi' should work. However, the ggi mode is probably going
to be slower than plain X; the main interest for ggi is to support a
wider range of output device.

   Not really. You may try to change your X resolution so that the vlc
window has the same size as your screen. Or you may try the SDL plugin
(same building method as for GGI) and use the `--display fullscreen'
option.

   This needs a few lines of code. If you can't do it, perhaps some
apprentice developer on the list may try it, it's quite easy and does
not require specific skills.
