Alright, that got me a bit further. When I start kwin on the tv, it says it is already running on that screen. That' s odd, because I don' t get window borders. Anyway, when I start it with the --replace option AND run Myth in a window, the focus issue is resolved and I can watch live tv on the extra screen. The quality however is quite poor, not nearly as what I am used to in Feisty (which is excellent). I am not sure how to describe it, but the picture seems slighty out of focus and vibrating a little. The colors seem off too. Subtitles are hard to read. Any ideas? <br>

</div></div>Well that floating point exception is likely a divide by zero. see the "Pixel<br>
dimentions" where it says "Screen 0x0".<br>
<br>
Try launching a wm on that second screen. Usually you need one wm per X<br>
server+screen. You could launch kwin on that screen if you wanted, but maybe<br>
it'd be better to start a slimmer wm like twm or something.<br>
