I'd be very interessted in feedback because I'm still a wiki and Linux newbie so feel free to write some lines.


In order to enable screen rotation you need to update to xorg 7, where xrandr will work. Easiest way to to that ist to add ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/xorg7/Java_Sun-Java-1.5_SUSE_Linux_10.1 to your yast-installation-sources. Then go to software management, set "filter" to "package groups", scroll down in the left package-group list and select "zzz All". Then right click on the right list and select "all in this list -> update if newer version available". After a restart of the X-server xrandr will work. The automatic rotation when turning the display will not work as described for Fedora Core 5 though. That's because the acpid is not allowed to access the users X-server, haven't figured that out yet, but as a temporary workaround I wrote a little script and put it in the KDE panel, so the user can rotate the screen manually. --dross 08:03, 2 October 2006 (CEST)
