XBMC on Fedora 10 Dual head with nVidia

[Pandora PCs]

I just Compiled and installed XBMC on a fedora 10 unit running 2 displays in clone mode. Display 1 is a 32" HDTV LCD, and display 2 is my integrated notebook display. I used this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/installing...-fedora-9-i386. everything went fine and I was able to build and install with no errors or warnings. However when I try to run XBMC, the window opens for a split second and then Xwindows does a full restart. Thats it no message in dmesg or the Xorg log file. Ny thoughts would be appreciated.

Any errors in the other logs?

[Pandora PCs]

Ok, I don't see anything I even deleted all the log files and then tried running XBMC and looked in /var/log and there where only 2 files created.

pm-powersave.log
Xorg.0.log

Where else should I look.

Is SELinux disabled?

[Pandora PCs]

Actually no it is not. and it has been causing samba issues but I have been putting that off cause it is not important right now. I'll disable it and see if that helps.

[Pandora PCs]

Yep disable SElinux and still the same issue. Im gonna try this

Have you tried editing your xorg.conf and setting the external monitor to be the primary there?

[Pandora PCs]

By External I take that to mean my HDTV conected to the doc. I think it allready is primary here is my xorg file.

This is where is saying clone the display on both monitors, try replacing Clone with "Left" or "Right" - not sure if the built in monitor will be primary still or not. Any way to open the box and physically disconnect the broken monitor?
