Sounds like we should be using window properties for passing hints to the WM, and dbus for getting orientation information from the accelerometers. Maybe it's time for omnewrotate to retire, with the WM talking to FSO's orientation API [1] directly? app -> window properties -> wm -> dbus -> fso WM making the decision on what direction to orient the display, based on window properties and device actual orientation etc. Dave [1] http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.Device.Orientation.html;hb=HEAD _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
