Yeah I'm talking about desktop displays that pivot, either landscape or portrait. Any display, pivoting or fixed, is supposed to be able to communicate it's h and v resolution and hence orientation. As far as I know, the fixed ones all communicate this correctly. The pivoting ones don't always do that, or it could be a graphics card or driver or window server miscommunication. -- Chris Murphy -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
