Using XBMC with external TV - need Help - falc410 - 2008-08-24

Hi,

right now I have my external HDTV setup with a DVI to HDMI Cable on a Geforce 7x graphics card. I have a primary Monitor plugged in which I only use for surfing the web etc. It can only display a resolution of 1024x768

Now I have not been able to start XBMC on the 2nd monitor i.e. the TV (which runs at 720p).

If I clone my displays, I can't have 720p on my HDTV anymore. The only thing I could do was to set XBMC to 720p resolution and then start it up in windowed mode and drag it to the TV, but this is far from perfect.

Anyone got a solution for me handy? Thanks in advance.

I would like to have XBMC full screen on the TV while still having access to my monitor for browsing. Is this even possible?

Btw, I'm aiming for a new graphics card with HDMI out so I can have the sound as well on my TV - so if it's just a graphics card issue it would be good.
