Now this is where I would normally stop thinking it can't be done without
changing my xorg setup, but if I play a movie with mplayer in full screen,
it goes fullscreen on only one screen. I can specify -vo x11 or -vo xv
they all do the same.

When you do this does one of your screens shimmer?
I've got a Radeon 9250 that exhibits this irritating behavior.

So is there a way to restrict one application to only one physical screen?
Sorry, don't know, with video overlay you can control which screen it
works on with
Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "true"
in your xorg.conf despite this quote from the RADEON driver man page
"the option OverlayOnCRTC2 has been replaced by the Xv attribute
XV_SWITCHCRT; the overlay can be switched to CRT1 or CRT2 on the fly in
clone mode"
I've never got XV_SWITCHCRT to work, maybe Etch has an old version of
the driver.

Good luck.
