Strange white b2s backglass server during start of vpx table or black area on backglass during play #115

I have had a perfectly working vpin installation for a year now. I have updated my environment to 10.8 several months ago and everything has been working as a charm.

Lately i have a strange issue with the b2s server during play. When I start a table from popper or through vpx, table initializes and it either shortly shows a white window which is the b2s backglass server or a black area on my dmd screen keeps visible after the table has initialized and started.

Is this a bug? I have never noticed this window before and I don't know how to get rid of it from the DMD screen.

My current software setup:

I'm going to close the issue. After a couple of days of investigation I found the root cause. The window that was bothering me had to do with the background positioning of the backglass server.exe Editted the screenres.txt in the b2s folder and put dimensions from 800x600 to 400x300 and placed the x/y to 1280 (halfway my backglass screen) and -400 to get rid of the popup/window completely during play.
