I've got an ati radeon 7500 and just got a nice new lcd monitor that pivots for a larger vertical resolution. I assume this is where XRANDR comes in to help me with rotating the screen, but it seems that I can't use it to rotate right now:
$ xrandr -d :0 -q SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh *0 1280 x 1024 ( 382mm x 313mm ) *60 1 1024 x 768 ( 382mm x 313mm ) 60 2 800 x 600 ( 382mm x 313mm ) 60 3 640 x 480 ( 382mm x 313mm ) 60 4 1152 x 864 ( 382mm x 313mm ) 60 Current rotation - normal Current reflection - none Rotations possible - normal Reflections possible - none $ xrandr -d :0 --orientation left X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig) Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 12 $ I can see from the query that no rotations are supported (except the "normal" one). Is this a limitation of the radeon driver? Is there a way to fix this? I'd be curious to hear of success stories from other people with pivot monitors (or anyone with xrandr rotating success).
