Hi everyone,

just got myself into XBMC and it all works great, but i'm having some issues...
I've got a Radeon HD2600XT Graphics card with 2x DVI-out, and have connected my monitor (Acer 19" wide) to the one connector and my Philips 32" LCD-tv to the other (with a DVI > connector, and then a HDMI-cable).

Now i'm having problems playing the XBMC-screen on my 'second' monitor (the television); can't find the setting in XBMC that support dual-monitor support...
When i use Ultramon, i can force the program to run on display-2, but then the video-playing freezes...

I have no good clue as to what resolution i have to set XBMC then (my monitor-settings are 1440*900 at 75 hz) but my tv has to be set to...? (it's a 32" HD-Ready Philips 32PFL7403).
How can i use this great program to 'watch the movies from my HD on my tv'.... does anyone know of this problem and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

(also tried the Catalyst Control Center, and then set the program to 'clone' the image from my desktop to the LCD-tv; but the 1440*900 resolution doesn't work that good for my tv... )
