VLC doesn't show fullscreen video on right screen

[Niclas Lockner]

Binary package hint: vlc

I have two screens connected to my laptop. The additional monitor is set up as an secondary screen to the right of the primary.
When I drag vlc from my primary to my secondary screen and switch to fullscreen mode, the vlc window stays at the secondary screen but the fullscreen video is still played on the primary screen.

Is this a bug? I searched for some settings but I didn't found anything.

Hi,
you reported this bug a while ago, is this issue still a problem for you?
I am not convinced this is a vlc bug, does the same happen with Movie Player(totem) or Mplayer as well?

I can't test it again since I don't have two monitors connected anymore. I've seen others who runs it successfully tough, but with a different setup.

The working setup:
Ubuntu 8.10
fglrx 2:8.543-0ubuntu4
TV connected to TV out and configured in ATI's GUI
vlc 0.9.4-1ubuntu3

The non-working setup:
Ubuntu 8.04
nvidia-glx 1:96.43.05+2.6.24.14-21.51
LCD as secondary using Xinerama
vlc 0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3.2

Maybe someone with ubuntu 8.04 who have two monitors connected and uses xinerama can test?

I cannot reproduce it again since I have a new computer. But it's working as expected with this one.

Ubuntu 8.10
radeon 1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2.1
vlc 0.9.4-1ubuntu3
Secondary LCD connected using randr
