[mythtv-users] Ripping my hair out

[David Whyte]

Hey Jim,

I have no idea.  This sounds like a problem I had on Windows when I
had dual monitor running on a laptop I had.  I had to put the window
showing movies etc on the primary screen.  Therefore, to do TV out, I
had to use only the TV out display and not use the laptop monitor at
all.  This was a nVidia 420Go ?!?!?

Someone tried telling me it was to do with my overlay settings but I
didn't understand that.

Sorry I could not be anymore help,
Dave

Ps - Stop tearing your hair out...you may need/want it later in life!!!
