    switching to full screen mode returns an error when the window is on the secondary monitor. It works fine on the primary thought.

    I'm running Vista Business as host-OS

    does anyone know the solution on how to get it to work on the secondary monitor?

    regards

    any lower resolution messes up gnome so it seems :-/

    thanks for the rather quick reply

    Unfortunately, I have to make an apology - this issue is caused by our current design limitation - Workstation can provide only 8 Mb of video memory and in your case more than 8 is required.

    Best regards,

    hm.. well that is kind of not cool

    are you devoted to having this issue resolved and at what point of time is a fix to be expected?

    regards

    Hello,

    yes, we'll fix it in our future versions but, unfortunately, I can't tell reliable information on time constraints yet.

    Best regards,
    Alicia.
