Yay ! I did an update (on squeeze) yesterday and finally got a
version of xscreensaver with this issue fixed :-)

Well, for you maybe, but not for others I'm afraid.
indeed - last thing before going home at the end of the day, I'm not
at my brightest ! One way or another, the randr code is clearly
getting it wrong. I'll see if I can help work out why.
Can you send the output of the test-xinerama and
When I previously 0'd out the rotate code,

I failed to notice a matching piece of code in the HAVE_RANDR_12
stanza further down; a few judicious fputs revealed to me that the
latter is the one being executed. When I 0 *it* out,
Sorry, last mail's output from test-randr and test-xinerama was bogus;
I'd forgotten to go into dieplay/ and re-make them.

Ok, let me make sure I understand this:
- your monitor is currently rotated 90 degrees
- in that configuration, it is 1200 pixels horizontally and 1600
pixels vertically
- you have RANDR 1.2
So, in that state, test-randr shows:
test-randr: 10:03:45: Current Rotation:90
Does that sound right?
To the extent of my limited grasp of the matter, yes ;-)
Thanks for making and maintaining xscreensaver,
Eddy.

Well, I had someone else report that to get the right sizes, I had to
do that swap width and height is RR_Rotate_* is set nonsense. But
if you're still seeing it mis-rotated, then that means that on your
system, it will probably work if you comment those lines out. Which
means -- I have
I'm afraid that someone who
actually has access to a system with RANDR and a rotatey monitor is
gonna have to debug this and send me a patch...
OK, that'd be me then, since I can definitely reproduce the bug.

worked nicely, thank you.
I exited my existing xscreensaver and fired up the one built in
driver/; it promptly said:
