[Bug 55646] Re: video playback problem on external monitor
Alas, I don't have access to the original iBook G4 hardware anymore. My understanding of the current xorg stack is too limited to judge if this kind of user experience issue still exists on 10.04 or newer Ubuntu versions. -- video playback problem on external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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

[Bug 55646] Re: video playback problem on external monitor
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 -- video playback problem on external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 55646] Re: video playback problem on external monitor
Piccobello, Thank you. I'm a Linux NooB, and have installed ubuntu on my IBM Thinkpad T41 out of frustration with Vista where I was unable to get the External VGA port to work (it worked fine on Windows XP). My intention is to use the laptop as a HTPC, plugged directly into the TV via VGA cable AMP plugged into the headphone jack. I am using my Wireless LAN at home to access movies music via a Windows PC located in another room. I was able to clone my display with ubuntu simply by ensuring the TV is plugged into the Laptop's VGA port prior to booting the Laptop. The issue that I had was that Video playback would only play on the Laptop screen, with the LCD TV just showing a black box instead of video playback. I have seen in a number of posts a suggested workaround (as discussed here) to type the following: xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1 However doing so gave me the following errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRTC -v -1 Found Xv 2.2 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 13 () Serial number of failed request: 11 Current serial number in output stream: 12 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 ...to get the display back to the Laptop. Thanks again.

Xv only works for one screen at a time ok, but I did have video playback on both screen in Dapper.
