The computer screen is primary, TV just have the desktop background.

Make the TV primary (if that is where XBMC is running).

Read this before using these builds.

TV is number 1, Computer screen is nr 2 but marked as main display. Have to have cumputer as main display otherwise the taskbar and desktop icons will end up on the TV.

Just wanted to add that I tried the same on another TV with a firends computer which has a Radeon 6850 and a Core i7 860 and got the same problem with tearing when running fullscreen window with 24hz on the TV and 60 hz on computer screen. So it seems there is a problem with XBMC after all.

In win 7 i thought there was a way to move the taskbar and icons to the secondary display.
