Hi,
I'm currently testing Maveric, but I have seen this on 9.10 as well. [I haven't tried 10.04 on this laptop]
I have a laptop with the intel 945GM video chipset, and can get dual monitors to work fine, but when I use dual monitors, I can't get any video files to actual show video when the layout is left/right.
I have tried all of the video players - smplayer, kaffeine, xine, vlc, dragon, etc - and they all produce sound and work exactly like they are supposed to, with the exception of showing the actual video.
When I go back to a single monitor, video works, and if I put the screens above/below the video also works, just not in the left/right arrangement.
This is very baffling to me, and unfortunately it is very awkward for me to try to arrange one monitor on top of the other on a flat desk - physically and/or virtually.
any fix to this? or has anyone seen this before?
thanks
