Hello Michel and thanks for your fast reply, I searched through /usr/share/doc/xserver-* for some documentation on how to do that without success. Could you suggest some URL or package where I can find docs and/or examples configs? Would you use xvattr to change the XV_CRTC attribute? What argument would you pass it to effect the change?
