I have two monitors, one is a HDTV that supports 24Hz and other "exotic" resolutions, and the other is a regular monitor that does not. Due to my setup, I tend to do all my XBMC maintenance/setup on the monitor, yet watch almost everything on the TV.
Now, I have been running with mirrored monitors, but in doing so, I wasn't taking advantage of the framerate capabilities of my TV (and XBMC). Upon discovery of these features, I tried forcing it with the mirrored setup, but experienced poor playback on the TV and no signal on the monitor. When I tried it with the extended desktop and XBMC playing only on the TV, the playback worked perfectly.
So, with a "mirrored" desktop, can I get the menus to show up on both monitors, but the video only on the TV (by say intentionally putting the monitor to sleep)?
Barring that, using an extended desktop, can I get the menus to display on BOTH screens with the video only appearing on the TV?
Thanks
