The way you move your phone should not impact the pixel read-out sequence. All phones can be used in portarait or landscape mode, I don't see why having a mechanical keyboard is different. You can type in landscape mode on a touchscreen keyboard, if you like to. The property gives you the rotation correction (actually, the control gives the correction) for display in the 'intended usage orientation'. If your concern is displaying the image, as you sense the accellerometers to rotate the UI, the application that display the image will be rotated too, adding to the corrected image (capture image + rotation here specified) the required UI rotation. On the 'intended usage orientation', as there is one for the UI, there is one for all other components in the phone, so if your system establishes that 'portrait' is the (rotation = 0) point for the UI, this applies to the rest of the system. > And yes, there's linux with v4l2 working on Nokia N900. > How is this and orientation handled there ? > Best regards, > Pavel > -- > (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek > (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
