I think the debug info is not useful in normal operation condition. The only time I need to see what's on the smaller screen is when I want to control MP without having to leave the larger TV on, like listening to music or setting up IMDB for the movies.

I would be nice also to have the controls on the smaller screen all the time while media is played on the TV, that way one can stop, pause,... or change album/discs/video file on the fly.

    Yes, you can use extended mode (instead of clone mode), you then can set up different resolutions for your monitors. I'm using latest ATI driver, no problem.

    I use 16:9 since it's my TV's format. The smaller touchscreen is now useless, until there's a solution for displaying MP control in both monitors.

    perhaps, one of you can tell me, if that works:

    -TV and Display in Extended Mode
    -Switch over Remote Button between the Displays
    -The Display without MP, should have no signal, because then my TFT goes automatically off
    -Mediaportal must be switch between two different Skins (4:3 and 16:9) over the same Remote Button

    perhaps, one of you can tell me, if that works:

    -TV and Display in Extended Mode ---------> This works
    -Switch over Remote Button between the Displays ------> I don't thinks there's an option for this yet
    -The Display without MP, should have no signal, because then my TFT goes automatically off -----> You small monitor still has Windows displaying on it, so it won't turn itself off.
    -Mediaportal must be switch between two different Skins (4:3 and 16:9) over the same Remote Button------> This is going to be a tough one, I know it has been mentioned in other thread before, but if I were a developer, I wouldn't want to touch it
