[opensuse] Screen Rotate
I have a dell computer with a built in Nvidia Ge Force 6150 LE. In yast Hardware - Graphics Card & Monitor - Monitor - Display 1 - Options , there is a button to rotate the screen but it is greyed out. I think I installed the Nvidia 3d driver at some time but not sure how / where to find what I did install.

Do you see the cool NVIDIA logo when your PC boots up? If not, the Nvidia drivers are not ionstalled, if yes, you most probably do not have the nvidia drivers installed. Then proceed from there. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I do get the Nvidia splash screen. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

ok, then you could try "nvidia-settings" from a working X-session. I do not remmber whether this graphical tool has a setting for scrren rotation. However I am sure, that the generic texttool "nvidia-xconfig" has one. see man "nvidia-xconfig" hth Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No Dice, but thanks, I learned a couple new things. Thanks, Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You need to enable rotation in your xorg.conf file. AFAIK, this is not done automatically: Section "Device" Identifier "Device[0]" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVidia" BoardName "GeForce 6200 (0x0221)" Option "RandRRotation" EndSection Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dave, You were correct, it is not in there, a quick edit and an Xserver restart and it works like a charm. After all that I find that I have to redo the bracket as the display only allows one orientation, quickly fixed with a screwdriver..

With respect to wlan and internet access I have had some success with OS10.2 and so have after a succession of DVD updating a remnant ifcfg-wlan0, now evidently not entirely compatible to OS10.3beta2. There has however been no success in booting up the wlan ( in Linux ) during the good halfyear of switching my dualboot Fujitsu-Siemens desktop between WinXp and any alpha or beta version of OpenSuse 10.*. Rather while in XP I use the YAReg tool for looking into the Reiser file system to examine the crucial man and /etc/.. files from within cygwin, in relative repose, thus able to send this email. Tia to those reading what has become much too long / Tom My observations are marked : Comment After booting the state of 10.3 beta2 is examined: Axehult-Fujitsu:/home/taxehult # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:05:6C:7A:A7 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:820 (820.0 b) TX bytes:820 (820.0 b) Comment: No wlan is discovered.
