The below script is working fine for me (my tv is on screen 1), but it only works if you create a ubuntu desktop launcher (right click on desktop, then "Create Launcher").

Hi htpcero.

I too am having some frustrating problems with XBMC on a dual-head setup. My situation is similar, whereby I'd like to have XBMC running (in fullscreen) on one monitor (a large LCD television) and my regular desktop running as usual on my other, primary display - my desktop LCD panel.

The catch for me is that both devices have different resolutions - my television is 1920x1080, and my desktop LCD is 1650x1050. I run these through a dualhead PCI-E nVidia graphics card.

I appreciate the solution you have posted though I do have some questions:

1.) What is your graphics hardware?
2.) Do each of your screens have different resolutions?
3.) When XBMC runs at full screen on one screen, does it not 'center' itself between the two?

One issue I have currently is that when XBMC runs fullscreen (started from my second screen) it straddles the 'middle' of the two screens, rendering the second screen essentially unusable and the output split between BOTH monitors. Think dragging an application window to the middle of both your desktops where both screen intersect, with the remaining screen real estate remaining blank and black. Very odd.

Any feedback from yourself (or others) would be appreciated. I am typing this from work so I'm yet to try your solution, but figured I'd ask my questions anyway
