Title: Howto Not Rotate In Pda Mode
Post by: mysli on November 15, 2005, 03:11:35 pm

Hello Again,

I would like to know how this rotation of the desktop can be avoided when in PDA mode,
or can the screen even be rotated by 180 degrees, because I sometimes tip on this little predefined
pads (mail, home, organizer, etc.) next to the screen with my fingers and this is pretty anoying if
all the time this other applications are coming up.

Another thing, is it possible to have the verticle scrollbar of the ATERM on the right hand site?


Thanks for your help.
Mysli

edit  the files in /etc/sysconfig/clamshell and change xrandr -o left
by xrandr -o inverted (use grep -R xrandr * /etc/sysconfig/ to find the places you have to change)
