Hello. I have an Nvidia GeForce 8400. I have a CRT and an HD TV hooked up via DVI-HDMI. With Ubuntu 8.04, the Nvidia driver would let me open windows separately on the tv. I upgraded to 8.10. After a bizarre problem with the Nvidia 177 driver, I used the 173 driver which works better. The only problem is that now, all windows that I open on the TV open up on my CRT. Movies open up on my CRT instead, which is what I'm trying to fix. I use "Separate X Screen" which has worked with 8.04.

Never mind. I fixed it my damn self. For future reference, I needed to set my TV as "Absolute" instead of "Right of". Thanks for the support :-(
