Re: Xorg 7.1 new

i only get normal as possible rotation. could you post your xorg.conf somewhere please?

$ xrandr
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1280 x 1024   ( 382mm x 302mm )  *75
 1   1024 x 768    ( 382mm x 302mm )   75
 2    800 x 600    ( 382mm x 302mm )   75
 3    640 x 480    ( 382mm x 302mm )   75
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none

Re: Xorg 7.1 new

thanks. that didn't help though (as expected...)
i tried some different settings and driver but i could not get xrandr to give me other options for rotations...

does this actually work for anybody with a nvidia card?

Sorry to say this, but I'd RTM on this for a non-intel card:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linu … dix-u.html

NVIDIA has almost nothing to to with the built-in extensions. They even bring their own AGP stuff. So don't rely on what works for free drivers and is mentioned in man xorg.conf too much. To put it simple, comercial binary bull... ah, at least it works. ;p
