Hello XBMC-Linux experts: I'm still fairly new at *nix (14yrs) and have recently been interested in XBMC. As of right now, I'm able to stream all media to all my DLNA boxes, not an issue. My issue is actually a direct HDMI connect to my TV (HDMI-0). What I need/want is to start XBMC on that HDMI-TV; however, during configuration, I only get two options: Windowed (which I dragged to my TV) and Full Screen #1 (default monitor).
Nvidia X Server Information clearly shows DFP0 (Monitor 1, DVI-I-1); DFP3 (Monitor 2, DVI-D-D); HDMI0 (Monitor 3, TV, HDMI).
This is confirmed using xrandr:
So, I can run Windowed mode on the TV and expand it, but I have the top-line menu bar (ugly) and I want XBMC to recognize Full Screen(s) 2 and 3. (FYI, you'll see DP-0 disconnected because once XBMC hits full screen it blanks all other screens and only Monitor 1 will be active (HDMI just goes to a default blue screen, but the signals are still recognized - I know I can adjust that - just showing the reason it says disconnected).
Thx y'all (<--Georgia talk).
