Recap: Transition from libregeek to PPA is OK. XBMC and mednafen have issues in fullscreen mode beeing placed under Unity's top bar. The Nvidia and Nouveau OpenGL driver for X11 show different functional behaviour and graphic issues. Nouveau doesn't display the native xbmc logo, but fullscreening for both medanfen and xbmc works on the primary display. Nvidia's driver supports fullscreening on the second display, but mednafen and sometimes xbmc get placed under the Unity top bar.
