    [SOLVED] Display rotation

    Hi folks,

    Fedora 12 64-bit
    Asus mobo M4A78-E
    Samsung 2494HM display

    The captioned display support 90 deg rotation. Which software do I need to install? TIA

    Tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf as;
    Code:
    Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Videocard0"
            Driver      "radeon"
            Option      "Rotate"    "90"
    Restart X and rotate the display 90 deg. It doesn't work.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    It depends upon the version of your X server as to whether or not rotation of the display is supported. When I go to the display manager gui on my CentOS 5 (RHEL 5) workstation, it prominently displays this message:
    Your X server does not support resizing and rotating the display. Please update to version 4.3 or greater. You need the X Resize And Rotate extension (RANDR) version 1.1 or greater to use this feature.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
    Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
