After a recent upgrade, I now am not getting xv acceleration via dvi. I have both dvi and vga from my radeon (open source xorg driver) plugged into my monitor because for some reason on bootup (pre-x), I can only see output from the vga. Anyways, I've seen the recommendation to use something like this:
xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
, but I can't install xvattr because it complains that I don't have xfree86. Is that supposed to be xorg or is xorg supposed to suffice for xfree as a dependency? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the exact same problem.
How do I work around it, and why do xvattr have this dependency in the first case?
In the script I made back in Ubuntu I do this to change XVideo output:
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 # Output on secondary monitor
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0 # Output on primary monitor
Is there another way to switch XVideo output between screens other than using xvattr?
*edit*
Ok, I figured out how to install xvattr using ABS and putting arch=('i686') in the PKGBUILD.

I just used --nodeps since it's already in extra. By the way, do you have to run these commands whenever your monitor comes out of power-save/standby as well? I'm wondering if I should run the command every minute or something stupid like that.
