XMBC version 9.11 RC1

+[NVIDIA GTX 280]
---Primary Monitor [DVI] (Windows Primary, identified in Windows as 3 / 1680x1050)
---Secondary Monitor [DVI] (Identified in Windows as 2 / 1680x1050)

+[NVIDIA 8400GS]
---TV [S-Video] (Identified in Windows as 1 / 1024x768)

Windows 7, 64-bit Edition
NVIDIA Driver Version 195.81

I'm trying to run XBMC on my second video card (8400GS) in fake fullscreen mode, but the display does not show up in video output in the system settings menu. Both monitors on the GTX280 show up.

Are there any workarounds for this?

You have to use something like ultramon at this point. We support only 2 monitors.

I tried using Ultramon to force the position the the TV, but it's still using the 1680x1050 resolution. Is there a way to force 1024x768?
