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.
Specs.
XBMC 9.11 on Ubuntu 9.10 GNU/Linux x86_64. Built on Dec 24 2009 (SVN:26018)
Installed via apt-get (ppa)
linux kernel - 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP
Running an ATI 5770 card with latest 10.3 ati driver in extended monitor mode
1st monitor dell s2209w (1920x1080)
2nd monitor Sony 19" LCD (1280x1024)
6gb ram on quad core q6600 intel, asus p5e3 deluxe motherboard
Debug code below

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
