XBMC hangs when starting on my "second" screen
#1
I have two monitors:
1. HDMI (1920x1080)
2. Analog (VGA) output 1280x720.

When using the second monitor (always only one active monitor at the time) XBMC won't start. The log does not show any thing...

This is the log when starting on the second monitor:

I found out that copying the userdate helped from a new installation fixes the problem.
Could it be that somewhere in the settings it has something about the output screen?

LaughFound the solution (temp)
By deleteting the <calibration> section from the guisettings.xml file. It workes fine.
Looks like this is a problem when using two screens.

Ya I have the same problem, after I setup my XBMC settings and use it a few times it will start to crash on start-up. I delete my guisettings.xml and it starts working again, a little annoying as I have to set all my settings again. Let me know if you find a permanent fix. Smile
