Beta1. And rotation the display don't work also: rotate 180° leads to nothing, rotate 90/270° leads to a black screen.
Because of the above. Or are you only reporting the problem that you don't get to pick your screen resolution? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227403#c8 states that resapplet should be depreciated and the new Screen Resolution capplet (gnome-display-properties) should be used instead.
That would be a problem for tablet users. We need something that is quick and easy from the panel. We can't just lose functionality. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Have you played with gnome-display-properties, and if so, what would be the thing keeping you from using it over resapplet in your tablet? Is it just rotating the mouse pointer?
IIRC yes, but I couldn't get any applet running in the task bar (if it should provide a applet, then tell me how I can enable it). TabletPC users need a simple applet (like the krandrtray applet under KDE) to rotate the screen (which should atm include rotate also the wacom pointer). Thats atm what's keeping me from using gnome-display-properties over resapplet. gnome-display-properties needs to provide a applet in the taskbar (like resapplet do atm) to be able to change the rotation without going through the Gnome Control Center. If I find tomorrow the time, I make a screenshot, but note: there is nothing TabletPC specific in the applet. It provides only a way to change the resolution and switch the orientation of the display. You should be able to start it on a normal desktop or laptop machine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Danny, you recently updated resapplet's patch for xsetwacom in bug #391583. Does this mean that rotation works now, and it's only the list of resolutions that is wrong?
No, it does only mean that now reapplet use the correct parameter (as they are now used in xsetwacom). 1) there is #393098 left, which is the reason why I can't test resapplet atm 2) on Beta1 I needed to call 'xrandr --auto' to get rotation working. Without this call the resolutions are missing and if I try to rotate I get only the dialog about "go back to old resolution", but the screen content rotated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
