[Bug 55646] Re: video playback problem on external monitor

2009-08-23 Thread Blondielocks
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?

Just to confirm, I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). Does this
make any difference?

Ok, I have sorted it. For me I had to do the commands the other way
round:

xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 switches to external monitor

while

xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v -1 switches to internal monitor

Thanks for your help Flametrees
