Quad Monitor issues - Mystr0183 - 2010-04-16

I have Xbmc Running on my PC Setup with Video Cards (4 displays) i have no problems running all 4 displays in windows but i cant seem to get xbmc to start full screen on my TV.

In the xbmc options i cant even select that display only the two displays from my primary video card show up. when i disable the display 1 and 2 then it works.

My monitors/cards are setup like so

Nvidia 8600 gt
Monitor id 3 primary windows desktop 22" monitor
Monitor id 4 secondary display HDTV via component.

Ati onboard
Monitor id 1 A 22" Monitor
Monitor id 2 15 inch monitor (Between my 22" monitors)
(notice the monitor ids)

I have to use the nvidia card for the TV because it has the component outputs.
Also i use PC for gaming so i want to keep it as my primary windows display.

Is there a way to change the monitor ids in windows so XBMC can detect my nvidia card for a full screen image? If not is there something i'm missing because I've been failing at this forever.

I think we are limited to 2 screen support at the moment, and even that is quite shaky

OK is there a way way to change the Display ids in windows so i can make my nvidia card display 1 and 2
