xbmc opens across both monitors problem
#1
Hello All,

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and install xbmc through apt-get (ppa) and everything installed fine.

When I run XBMC in full screen mode (default skin - confluence) it runs centered in between both monitors and not on 1 or the other. What makes it worse is the monitors are different aspect ratios and resolutions. The only way to run on 1 monitor is to not run extended monitor in linux or running in windowed mode. I would like to be able to run in full screen mode on my primary monitor (1920x1080). I was able to do this before when I had both 1280x1024 monitors but now seems to be an issue with this setup.
