Hi,
I've got a dual screen layout on my Ubuntu 9.10 pc.
First screen is a monitor and second one is an HDMI connected TV.
XBMC runs fullscreen on the TV and does well, except for a small problem: it locks the mouse and keyboard control on the TV and doesn't let me use the monitor for web browsing or even something useful.
In windowed mode XBMC behaves nicely sharing mouse/keyboard controls with other applications, but all the DE surroundings remain visible on the TV.
Is there a way to configure XBMC fullscreen to be as sharing as the windowed one?
My configuration if it matters:
MB: Asus AT3N7A-I (Atom 330, ION, HDMI output)
RAM: 2Gb (512Mb for video, 1.5Gb available)
Screen :0.0: d-sub connected NEC AccuSync LCD 93V @1280x1024
Screen :0.1: HDMI connected Philips TV @1280x768
Ubuntu 9.10
Kernel: 2.6.31-17-generic
NVIDIA driver: 190.53
XBMC package: 1:9.11-karmic1
XBMC configured to play analog sound through HDMI audio output (TV plays sound from the movies).
Thanks,
Alexey.
