Bug#421418: Workaround for this bugs using xvattr



Hi.
Apparently, the "xv blue screen" problem seems to be caused by a feature
of the new video driver: it puts by default the xv pipe on VGA output
(external screen) and not on LCD output. A workaround, using xvattr, is
the following command:

xvattr -a XV_PIPE -v 1

After that, you have the xv output on LCD and the blue screen on VGA. If
 you want the xv output back on VGA (and the blue screen back on LCD...
:-(  ), do:

xvattr -a XV_PIPE -v 0

This is working for me on an Acer TravelMate 291LMI (Intel 855GM
graphics chipset), and I think it could be useful to people reporting
this bugs. Nevertheless, I don't know how to set where the xv pipe must
be displayed by default in xorg.conf file... Any ideas?
