I am running Gentoo Linux with KDE. I have dual monitors that work very well with everything else, but XBMC has fullscreen issues. When I press the backslash key to enter fullscreen it works without issue (it maximizes on my left monitor and my right monitor goes dark), however when I press backslash again to return to my regular desktop, it only works about half of the time. When it doesn't work both monitors will show a jumbled mess. It shows some of my desktop, like sometimes I'll see a fraction of a program that I had running... but it is incredibly distored and not usable at all. It's as if you took my desktop and put it in a blender and threw the remains on the screen.

I am running XBMC 13.2 USE="X alsa bluetooth fishbmc mysql opengl projectm rsxs samba sdl sse sse2 udisks upower usb vaapi vdpau xrandr
nvidia-drivers-343.13-r1 USE="X acpi multilib tools

Although this issue has been occurring for quite some time now, with previous versions of xbmc and nvidia-drivers.

You need 14.x to support multiple monitors. 13.x uses SDL which does not.

13.2 has no proper X support - install a nightly and retry.

That did it, running media-tv/xbmc-9999 now and it works great. Thank you!
