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?
Cheers,
