http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have f17 with a dual monitor. Every time I go full screen with You Tube vide,o the full screen (flash) window pops up but only the left half of the video is displayed on the right side of the left monitor. It's like the full-screen flash window wants to display on both screens with half the video on each but it never displays on the right-hand monitor. I've used fedora since f13 and I've never seen this behavior before. I've attached a screen shot below. Here are some details: $ rpm -qa firefox google-chrome* firefox-13.0.1-1.fc17.x86_64 [thomas@power python]$ rpm -qa *chro (HowTos)

Had to format my PC so thought I would try out ubuntu. There's just a couple of problems I'm having though.

Flash video.

I have a dual monitor setup, and when I fullscreen youtube or any other flash, with firefox or chromium, then mouse click on the other screen, flash goes back to window mode.

I tried holding down shift, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Fedora 17 64bit.

Hi guys,

I'm using F18 with Chome or Firefox + flash-plugn

Everytime I reproduce a video in full screen it works, but when I click someplace else in the other monitor, fullscreen exits. I'm using 2 monitors.

Can anyone guide me how to solve this?

thanks!

I have dual monitors and am addicted to watching tv shows and movies, I like watching in full screen on one side however, when I need to click something I am doing on the other monitor it exits out of full screen.

Is there a way to keep the video in full screen on one monitor and do whatever on my other?

Whenever I go fullscreen on a youtube video, there is a moment of static, then the controls continuously jump all over the screen, and it seems like the player is trying to center the video between both monitors (I have a two monitor system).

Never had any problems watching full screen flash videos with my dual monitor setup (same hardware) in 11.10 or 10.04.

Hallo,

I bought a 26" TFT monitor and want to use it as a second screen for my laptop. So far I was not able to use it as I had it in mind.

Example: From http://www.thedailyshow.com/, I try to watch the most recent episode.

This is a small point, and I can live without a solution, but for aesthetic reasons I would like to find one.

Hello All,

I'm new here. I hope someone will be able to help me out. I need to setup a dual-headed workstation that will be starting one instanse of certain program in each monitor.

I got screens configured. But get errors when running a command for second monitor.

DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox - this runs ok in left monitor
