Framebuffer orientation

Framebuffer orientation

[Dennis Noordsij]

Hi,

Is there any way to use the framebuffer on the i386 architecture in a 
'portrait' way? I am using a QBE web tablet and it favours the screen in that 
position. (768x1024).

I know X can do it for a few videocards, but not this one :-)


Regards,
Dennis

The right place to ask is "xpert@xfree86.org".

The answer is that if performance is not a major issue, implementing
this for a given graphics card is now pretty easy, using the shadow
frame buffer code.

For straight frame buffers, the TinyX server will now do this "out of the
box".
