I've just bought a new LCD 19' monitor which has the capability to rotate from landscape layout to portrait (pivot feature). The manual describes how to rotate the desktop in WINXP/ME/98 via software once the hw is rotated, but it does not mention anything on how to do it in Linux. For the WIN32 featuer, they don't provide any proprietary sw, they just make use of the video adapter driver capabilities....
Is there a KDE tool that allow me to switch the diplay layout on the fly? If not, do you know some way to make use of this feature also in Linux?
krandrtray - it allows you to control the X Resize And Rotate Extension (RANDR) from your system tray. However, this relies on your turning on RANDR in your xorg.conf. For the nvidia card I use this means adding this to your Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. .. Section "Device" ... Option "RandRRotation" "on" ... EndSection .. YMMV for your graphics card. Try reading the man page for its X11 driver eg man radeon or man i810. HTH Will
