Hi all,
My Linux box is running Ubunt Natty. I have an nVidia 8400GS video card with a dual (DVI and D-Sub) head.
I'd like to connect the D-Sub head to my LCD TV and run specific applications on it - like movies or presentations etc.




How do I tell the movie player to run on the other head?

Fire up the player - drag the window to the secondary monitor.*

Many apps remember the previous position and will re-open on the same
monitor last used (if possible). Mplayer does this for example.
