Full-Screen Issues when using xorg Dualscreen Configuration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Kubuntu 9.10
 - 32-Bit
 - Mupen64Plus version: 1-5
 - Plugins used: Glide64

Describe the problem:

hi, i use mupen64 to play on my full hd tv.
my X-Server is configured, to use my Laptop Display and the tv screen in
dual mode ( both screens same xsession ). When i try to run mupen64 in full
screen it centeres the game window between the two screens.

this is an very disturbing issue, due when playing in window mode you cant
select full hd resolutions -> you always see the background picture left
and right of the game screen. 

mentioned part of my xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "Configured Video Device"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "1"
    Option         "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP-1:
nvidia-auto-select +1280+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection

This is a well-known problem affecting any SDL program in fullscreen mode with
TwinView enabled.  If you search google enough you will find solutions.  For 
example,
I found this forum post:

It suggests adding a "MetaMode" line to your xorg.conf which enables only a 
single
monitor, at the intended fullscreen game resolution.  Hope this helps.

Hi!
I am experiencing the same bug today, there is no better workaround since 2009?
It is really annoying. I can not launch the game on the main screen. Even when 
disabling one of them, it reactivate himself to launch the game on it. -_-
