Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue on a Mint laptop I am using my my HTPC.
I would like to run this as an extended desktop and run movies on the tv and just leave the desktop visible on the laptop.
Here is the issue. When running extended I can set independent resolutions and run 1080p on the tv. When I try and full screen a movie on the tv it moves the player back to the laptop... If that makes any sense. If I press the fill box in the upper corner, no issues, but as soon as I fullscreen it, it pops back to the laptop and leaves just the desktop on the tv.
If I disable the laptop screen, for some reason I can no longer select a resolution on the tv that's higher than 1366x768 (the laptops native resolution), although the movies can then be full screened.
The movie moving back to the laptop screen only happens with VLC, and the built in "video" player works as expected.
Thoughts?
