I have a dual monitor setup (Twinview) on Ubuntu 10.04 on Nvidia 550Ti. A few weeks ago, my YouTube video fullscreen mode started giving trouble. The full screen mode now tries to go to really full, trying to take up both the screen but only succeeding partially.
The full screen ends up taking one screen, and only shows half of the video and cuts out the other half. I was hoping that a driver update would fix it any day soon, but it never did.
Finally I had had enough and googled for a solution... and as expected, found that many others face the same challenge every day. Surprisingly, there is no good fix for this issue.
However, there is a semi-workaround. This chrome plugin (Multiple Monitor Full Screen) plays youtube video in full screen inside the browser. You can then maximize the browser to get to almost fullscreen... almost there.
