Hello, Due to changes in the German TV broadcasting I'm in the need to switch from TV to Internet live streams. I have a laptop for this running CURRENT and ports from beginning of March. The desktop is KDE-4.14. I can connect my big TV device nicely to the VGA port and the desktop expands to a second scree of 1980x1020, both screen (i.e. the LCD of the laptop and the VGA) are connected and I can drag any app, for example firefox, to the VGA (i.e. TV), bring the window there in fullscreen mode and watch the show. What I would like to have, get it more handy for my family (kids), i.e.: - the control (level of audio, start/stop) remains on the LCD of the laptop - the picture should "jump" somehow automagically to the VGA screen and there into fullscreen mode (with having to drag the moues pointer to there and marking the fullscreen button) - and ofcourse some kind of play-lists (i.e. live channels) to switch between; Any ideas for this? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045
