[opensuse] nvidia-settings rotation?
At long last I've built a 10.2 system to replace my 9.3. It's early days but generally it seems pretty good. But I've just run into a question about nvidia-settings. I have a monitor that can be rotated (Samsung SyncMaster 913N) and under 9.3 the nvidia-settings gui had an option to rotate the screen so I just clicked on the button, rotated the screen and I was in portrait mode, or back in landscape. Under 10.2, I can't find this option in the nvidia-settings interface. Has anybody else come across this problem?

I'm surprised that I haven't had any responses here and even more surprised that I couldn't find anything in nvidia's knowledgebase or forums :( But I got lucky and found something that reminded me that the answer is the XRandR extension. So for the benefit of anybody else looking for the answer, just add 'Option "RandRRotation"' to the screen - or perhaps device - section of your xorg.conf file. It's a pity the Suse-supplied package and conf file downloaded from nvidia doesn't figure this out :( BTW, what's the best way to translate a downloaded edid.bin file into a human-readable format?

That program actually does the same as nvidia-settings - it downloads the binary edid. Another program does the translation - parse-edid - and that's not in the rpm. But thanks for the pointer. If I understand now, all the difficulty stems from edid being a proprietary secret format belonging to vesa. Bah!

I was going to mention standing on your head, but I figured that wasn't the answer you're looking for. Sorry! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
