I have HP laptop with external monitor connected via Displayport. Laptop display is marked as number 1, external monitor is number 2. Multidisplay is configured via ATI Catalyst Control Center.

The thing is that every time I start something in full screen, it starts on external monitor. And it is scaled incorrectly. Like when I open some YouTube video in full screen, it always goes to external monitor, scaled weirdly and partially not visible. I'd like it to stay on laptop monitor in full screen. Any way to configure this?

I have the same issues, it is mainly with flash the issue I believe.
Sometimes it is part of the screen which the video gets played on, sometimes half on each screen.
To make things clearer I have an NVIDIA card, so it's not ATI specific.

Isn't there an extra option in the configuration for playing Video?
I think i can remember sth like that.
I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but wasn't there an option where you can tell the graphiccard where to play videos and so on?
Try changing someting in the Preferences.

The only thing I found in Preferences is Monitors configuration. Setting laptop monitor as default didn't changed anything - the video in full screen is still displayed on the secondary display with wrong layout.
