If the only thing to be shown rotated is a movie, you could consider using rotation in the movie player. However, I am not sure how efficient this is, so this needs testing. -- Rafał Rzepecki ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

We have tested on Windows and the i810 driver costs about 20% extra on a 2.4GHz P4 CPU to run portrait and play a movie. So it is possible to do reasonable cost. However using the ShadowBF under X the performance is, as you say, unsatisfactory. We have not found a portrait mode plasma screens yet, but that seems like the solution we need to look for, we do not want to use Windows.

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. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
RE: Is there any work on supporting portrait mode?
xrandr has no support for rotate in 4.4.0.

Is there any work on supporting portrait mode?
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. Barry ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
