Hi mossroy & phofman!

I have almost the same setup as you guys, but whatever I do i can't get xbmc to load in full screen on my TV. When I'm running the script it now loads xbmc in full screen on HDMI1, without the script it stretches across the two screens.

Some specs info:
HDMI1: Samsung SyncMaster245B connected with DVI (1920x1200)
HDMI2: LG plasma TV (1280x768)
Intel HD Graphic card (Core i3-530)
Arch Linux 12.01 with XBMC Eden

I don't use compiz, wiiremote etc. so all I need the script to do is to load on the TV. which seems to be impossible (I spent the last 2 days trying to figure it out).

Here's the script:

Code:

#! /bin/bash

    echo "Activate HDMI2"
    #The following two lines can be needed if the 1280x720 resolution is not proposed (which seems to be the case for U$
    #xrandr --newmode "1280x768" 80.14  1280 1344 1480 16680  768 769 772 795  -HSync +Vsync
    #xrandr --delmode "1280x720"
    #xrandr --newmode "1280x720" 74.50  1280 1344 1472 1664  720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync
    #xrandr --addmode HDMI2 1280x768
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --primary --output HDMI2 --right-of HDMI1 --mode 1280x768
    #xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --primary --output HDMI2 --right-of HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080

    echo "Start XBMC in background"
    killall -s9 -q xbmc.bin
    xbmc &

    echo "Wait for the XBMC window to appear"
    status=0
    while [ $status -eq 0 ]
    do
        sleep 1
        status=`wmctrl -x -l | grep "XBMC Media Center" | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
    done

    echo "Move XBMC to secondary screen"
    # Resize so that it will fit in the secondary screen
    wmctrl -x -r XBMC Media Center.XBMC Media Center -e 0,0,0,800,600
    # Move to secondary screen
    wmctrl -x -r XBMC Media Center.XBMC Media Center -e 0,1920,0,800,600

    sleep 1

    echo "Force XBMC window to fullscreen"
    wmctrl -x -r XBMC Media Center.XBMC Media Center -b toggle,fullscreen

    #echo "Wait 2 seconds for xrandr to complete"
    #sleep 2
