C1000/3x00 General discussions / Zaurus Sl-c3000 S/w Rotation Broken [solved]

Firstly thanks to those who replied.

- third you try the qpe.conf in this message

The interesting value is:
[Rotation]
HReverse = 1

I tried this first and it worked :-)))

For the record: my qpe.conf had the [Rotation] section in, but it was empty. So I added the "HReverse = 1" and saved the file. It does not take effect immediatly, but when I  physically rotated the screen to portrait it was read and took effect. I rotated the screen back to landscape and it works fine now :-)

(Feels strange: after a couple of weeks I had kind of gotten used to viewing the screen sideways as I typed.)

So it looks like a problem with kino2. I am off soon for a 3 week holiday soon (with my Zaurus :-) so I will not experiment yet to confirm this !!

My SL-C3000 has screwed itself up (or maybe I did it :-).

When I open it (landscape) it displays in portrait mode, then decides to rotate *part* of the screen to landscape *upsidedown*.

When I start an app it starts in portrait mode (even thought the screen is still physically in landscape) and works OK apart from that. But no way can I get back to using landscape mode.

The following do not work:
- reboot
- the rotate menu option
- an combination of opening and closing the lid, and physically rotating it.
- uninstalling most of the new s/w I had installed

I have not done many changes to the system: I have not touched the ROM, I have just imported my data, and installed a few extra programs: mplayer, kino2, ltris, brickout...

I have looked around the config files in /etc but can not find anything.

/home/zaurus/Settings/display.conf looked promising but editing it seems to make no difference.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks, Simon
