I been using ultramon for a while on my laptop and xbmc on my living room as media center, now my media center pc is dead and i been trying to use my laptop but i can't get none of that to work.
This is what i'm doing...
1. Downloading UltraMon,
http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/
I already got it install, so should un-install it b4 i do anything ellse?...
2. Make a shortcut to XBMC.exe if you don't already have one. Place it on your desktop (or wherever). Right-click on the shortcut select properties.
Set the environment variable SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=2 (2 for secondary display) apply and exit...
Ok, here i do, start>All Programs>XBMC, right click there and sent to desktop "POW" shortcut in desktop, now right click on it properties and in Target is already ("C:\Program File\XBMC\XBMC.exe") should i add there SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=2 so it will look like this? "C:\Program File\XBMC\XBMC.exe" SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=2.........
Now coz i already have ultramon i have the Ultramon Window and display tabs so click on them and do the "use custom settings" choose resolution for "secondary display" and "UltraMon - Window" check "use custom settings" show: [normal] on monitor 2 (or whatever display/monitor you like but HEAD="x" must be the same) apply and exit...
Now once i do this if i right click on my XBMC short cut and select properties this will say in Target ("C:\Programe Files\ultramon\Ultramonshortcuts.exe" /I C:\Documents and settings\all users\Applications Data\realtime soft\ultramon\shellshortcuts\XBMC (4).umshortcut.
I think the (4) is coz i tryed 4 times, then i open the ultramon window and display tab to check if things are ok and i think is all good...
Now if i launch XBMC from that shortcut the 2 monitors go black and only the laptop monitor has XBMC on it...
I even try to mirrow the monitors and XBMC just crashed...
