xrandr --output LVDS --reflect xy => xrandr: output LVDScannot use rotation...

[BOROWIAK Jerome (EXT)]

Keith,

Here is my boxes config...

$ Xorg -version

X Window System Version 1.3.0
Release Date: 19 April 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3
Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8)
Current Operating System: Linux ubuntuBox 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686
Build Date: 29 September 2007
        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
        to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present

Isn't it enough ?


Sorry, but the Intel driver of my box cannot do that...
$ xrandr --output LVDS --reflect xy
xrandr: output LVDS cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "X and Y axis"

On other boxes...
Concerning the output name how to determine it ?

Cu,
J.

You may need newer X server bits, but the intel driver supports all
reflections and rotations.

Also, xrandr is a bit broken in that it doesn't make sure the requested
output actually exists, so perhaps you've got the output name wrong in
the second example.
