Does anyone have any experience of using the Rotate option on a linux desktop with an analogue connected flatscreen? I have been using the proprietry "NVIDIA" drivers with my GeForce 2 card, but have now switched back to the "NV" drivers in order to use the flatscreen in "portrait" mode. So far, I can rotate the image so it is the correct way up with the following command (this bit is easy): "Rotate" "CCW" however, i have not managed to get the kde desktop to resize to match the new resolution. Is this where changing from the standard Xserver provided with the distribution to the Xkdrive implementation is required??? At the moment (while in "landscape" mode) the screen is set to use a virtual size of 1280 * 1024... and if I set this to 1280 * 1600, then I get the effect I want (a taller screen which you have to scroll up and down...), however, when I then enable the "Rotate" option, the X session fails to start. Presumably it cannot find a suitable resolution, or is confused by the fact the virtual resolution could not be displayed if it were an actual resolution. Please help. I have searched the internet over, and have found no reference to this problem or a howto on setting the XF86Config correctly so the kde desktop size matches the rotated screen resolution. Many thanks in advance.
