Comment 10 for bug 55646

I need help:

Quote Flametrees:

"By typing xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v -1

My problem is solved. Admittedly (again as discussed above) the Laptop screen goes blank, but this doesn't bother me; as the intention is to watch Movies & TV Shows on the LCD TV. When finished, I just type:

 xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1"

I received the same error message when I tried:

 xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1

but for me the alternative:

xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v -1

 does not work either. Terminal says:

Found Xv 2.2 XV_CRTC set to -1

 but still shows videos on internal and not external monitor.

Any ideas?
