Hmmm well if the display isn't fakaked, which is actually surprisingly infrequent (i.e. it is fakaked), via EDID it should inform the OS (if it asks) what the orientation is so the OS can just do the right thing. I have a display in a box about 20 feet away that does the right thing. Maybe....hmmm....MAYbE I should get it outta the box? And I don't know, test it? Egads. I know it works on X, but ONLY with the discrete GPU. Integrated GPU, no go. -- Chris Murphy -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
