I'm running my G400M in DualHead MultiDisplay mode with my Creative DXR2 passing through on the 2nd port on the card. I was hoping that this would allow me to use full screen hardware accelerated DVD on the second monitor without doing anything to the main screen but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I can't get the 2nd monitor to display the DVD stuff in full screen (it just opens up on the primary display) and the best solution i've found so far involves having the PC-DVD window open on the primary display just showing the blue overlay and resizing it until I get the most suitable picture on the 2nd monitor.
Essentially, the question is, is there any way of getting the 2nd monitor to go full screen without having any effect on the first one? I would just stick the passthru on the main monitor but the degradation of image running at 1600x1200 using a passthru is unacceptable considering the quality of my monitor.
