Is there any work on supporting portrait mode?

2004-05-20 Thread Barry Scott
I'm trying to get X to drive a display in portrait mode.
But the only driver that seems to work is the nVidia code
and the performance is terrible.

Is there any work to make a fast portrait mode work?

I'm especially interested in support on VIA's CLE266
and the Intel i810. And to make life more fun I need
to play movies, I'm using xine at the moment.

xrandr has no support for rotate in 4.4.0.

Are you talking about a monitor that is able to change its beam 
scanning, or are you talking about rotating a normal monitor, so that 
the beam scans from top-to-bottom?  In the first case, almost any 
graphics card should be able to set up a 768x1024 mode for a standard 
monitor.  However, the second case requires a graphics chip that knows 
how to scan its frame buffer differently.  I know of very few chips with 
that ability, and a software simulation will always be unsatisfactory.

I'm especially interested in support on VIA's CLE266
and the Intel i810. And to make life more fun I need
to play movies, I'm using xine at the moment.
 

Neither chip supports hardware rotation.
