Wiso tricked me into updating that patch, but I'm not falling for your pleasant disposition. I don't have the time to do that. I'll offer the same thing I did for the multidisplay branch though-- if someone writes the platform-independent part I'll do the win32 bits.

nope as I don't have the time for such a "big" update.
graphiccontext.cpp is scaring me

Bumping this up again since touchscreen apps like YATSE is becoming popular... thus running XBMC on a secondary monitor is necessary (considering some touch screens work only as Primary monitors - driver limitation)
Anyone worked on this, or considering it? I'm not an expert but I play one at work. |

Dual monitor support has been in XBMC for a while, and 3+ monitors for about a month.

I've tried several of the latest SVNs. I cannot get it to run on anything but the Primary. Need it to run on my 2nd monitor. I'm not an expert but I play one at work. |

Go to System-Settings-Video Output, and select one of the 'fullscreen #2' resolutions from the Display list.
There were a few glitches in the dual screen support of version 9.11. Current SVN is better. Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ, Wiki and search the forum before posting.
