second monitor issues w/ PowerBook G4 S-Video (iTunes and standalone)

Your System Information
OS Version: OS X 10.4.4
Version of G-Force 3.1.2
Version of your media player: iTunes 5.0.1
Other system information: PowerBook G4 with S-Video attached to TV, LCD is "main" monitor with menu bar

Detailed Description of Bug
1) M key reports bogus resolution (0.0.8) in iTunes when on 2nd monitor in window mode
2) Full screen mode on 2nd monitor in iTunes doesn't work after selecting 0.0.8 resolution on 2nd screen
3) M key reports main screen's (LCD) resolutions in iTunes when on 2nd monitor in full screen mode
4) M key reports main screen's (LCD) resolutions in stand alone app when on second monitor (TV) (full screen or in window)
5) Full screen in stand alone app always appears on main screen even when window is on 2nd monitor.

Description of How to Replicate Bug

iTunes issues:

1) Start iTunes, resize window and move to 2nd monitor.
2) Deselect "Full Screen" from Visualizer menu (if selected).
3) Start Visualizer with button on lower right.
4) Press M key -- G-Force reports "New resolution: 0.0.8" (problem 1 above)
5) Press Command-F -- Visualizer leaves window, but doesn't start full screen. (problem 2 above)
6) Press ESC to stop missing visualizer, Command-F to switch back to windowed mode then start visualizer again.
7) Drag window to 1st monitor, press M again to set valid resolution, then drag window back to 2nd monitor.
8) press Command-F to switch to full screen mode - G-Force goes full screen on TV (2nd monitor)
9) press M multiple times -- G-Force cycles through main screens supported resolutions, not the 2nd monitors (for example 856.480.8 doesn't appear 1152.768.8 does). (problem 3 above)

Standalone issues:

1) start standalone app, resize window, move to 2nd monitor (TV)
2) press M multiple times, G-Force cycles through main screen resolutions (like in iTunes), not the TV/2nd monitor's (problem 4 above)
3) press Return -- full screen visualizer starts on LCD (not TV/2nd monitor) G-Force window on 2nd monitor goes white (problem 5 above)

Please give G-Force 3.5.4 a try. Also, you know you have to move the G-Force window to the display device you want it to fullscreen on, right? That's how GF knows what display device to use.
