Rotating Screen With Debian On Zaurus Slc3000, Detecting Screen Orientation with Debian Options

[Leinadmx]

Hi group, good day!
Anybody knows if you install Debian, Is it possible change the screen orientation automatically when you rotate the screen?? how Detect it?

I mean change from 640x480 to 480x640 when you rotate the screen.
Could it be possible??

Best Regards,

It's not easy with Fbvnc. Fbvnc doesn't provide any external interface to change the screen orientation.

Rotate the screen? What do you mean? Physically rotating and folding the screen? It generates keyboard events, then you can use /proc/something to get the actual state.

For this to be really useful you'd probably need support for the XRandR extention (X Resize and Rotate); otherwise just using Fbvnc's rotation function will leave you with part of your screen unused and part of your display off screen (640x480 displayed in 480x640, so effectively 480x480 viewable).

I just tried to flip the screen around on my Z while PocketWorkstation was running and it rotated just like in Qtopia, however, sometimes it crashes when I rotate it.
