Hi there,

I'm using the ibook spanning hack, but with any movie players (mplayer, vlc etc) I use when I choose full screen it will only 'full screen' the ibook's monitor not the external one.

This happens even if the movie is playing on the external one before it is fullscreened.

Is there a program that won't do this?
Am I just being stupid about this?

TIA for your advice,

pfb

There are two ways to fix this.

1) Go in to your Displays preference pane, and change which of your monitors is set as the "primary" monitor. (By dragging the menu bar.)

2) Under mplayerosx, try the "Use second monitor" preference.

Hope this helps.
