Try

/usr/bin/ivtvfbctl --device=/dev/fb1 --globalalpha=off --localalpha=on

For help using parameters such as'-g, --globalalpha=<on>|<off>', this
means that you can use either '-g' or '--globalalpha' followed by
either '=on' or '=off'.

The help for ivtvfbctl states the default fb device is /dev/fb0, so if
you want to control another, you must specify it when running the
command.
