So i decided to try a bunch of screen-savers, but only the one on my primary screen is working correctly
First Monitor: Euphoria
Secondary Monitor: Night City 3D, by Astro Gemini Software
First one works, but the second one only shows the "preview" mode which is a static image, which also is being displayed like 50% outside the screen
Anyone got an idea, how to solve this?
I'm running a HP 17 inch monitor as primary over VGA at 1280x1024 & 60 Hz and a Sony HDTV 40-inch from 2009 at 1920x1080 & 60Hz with 32Bit color for both monitors

Oups, forgot to say that the secondary display is connected through HDMI over DVI
Sadly, i somehow broke the physical HDMI connector on the graphics card previously

The only thing you could do is switch the screen savers, run Euphoria on the secondary monitor and Night City 3D on the primary.
This should then work fine because Euphoria has a live preview mode, which is required for screen savers assigned to secondary monitors (this is what UltraMon uses to run the screen saver on the secondary monitor).

Tried doing that, but all I got was a black screen on the TV when the screen-saver where running

I have now tested with Night City 3D myself, unfortunately this won't work. The problem is that Night City 3D blanks secondary monitors, so you won't see any screen savers assigned to those monitors.
The only way around this would be to run Night City 3D in preview mode, but then you only get the static image.

Looks like i would have to hunt around for another screen-saver then (as a replacement for Night City)

Two of the Really Slick OpenGL screen savers would work fine, for example Euphoria and Flocks. Just make sure to check the 'preview mode' option for the one assigned to the primary monitor.
