Doom in landscape mode on C860?

[stupkid]

You should be using:

     libSDL-1.2.6-zports-5
     libSDL-mixer-1.2.6-zports-0

This newer version fixes the landscape issues.

Hope this helps!

Okay,
I got all this  going on my c860, but - I can't seem to figure out how to open doors? I am locked inside the first room. I can shoot, and run around the room. The landscape mode is fine, but I can't actually "play" the game.  Any suggestions? I know I am missing something really "duh" here.  

Thanks alot!

I was stumped by this too until I looked into the options menu and saw that the 'use' key to open doors is the down arrow by default. The Z port doesn't seem to want to use the Enter key in Doom...

I was using the wrong version of SDL. I corrected that, uninstalled everything and reinstalled. My screen is still rotated 90 degrees to the left. Darn it.

Still haven't got this fixed, any suggestions?

I had to reinstall Cacko ROM, so I took the opportunity to go back through the prboom install process by the numbers. I went to zports and made sure that I had the latest files (I did). I installed libSDL, libSDL-mixer and then prboom. I am using the doom2 wad. When I go to the command line and run prboom, the doom screen is smaller than the display and rotated 90 degrees to the left. If I rotate and fold the screen, the doom screen is in landscape mode, but it is still much smaller (like 60% smaller) than the display which should be 640x480.

Is there a log file or something that I could post that would help folks figure out what I have screwed up? Thanks.

Perhaps you need to hold down your stylus on the icon for the program that you are trying to run and then toggle the, "Display with magnified screen," option.

I had the SDL rotation problem on my C860, I tried all sorts of SDL versions including the latest Zports, several different environment variables, and none worked. However after a certain cycle of uninstalling and reinstalling versions, the 1.2.6 version suddenly started working. UNfortunately I couldn't tell you exactly what I did......

Yes, I have tried several permutations of checking and unchecking that box and rotating the screen. If I fold the screen down and start it and then fold it back up, it stays rotated in the correct position. However, it only uses about the center 30% of the screen. I remapped the keys and have it somewhat functional, but it is about too hard to see. If I didn't know the game so well, I doubt that it would be playable without a set of binoculars.

There are some serious shenanigans going on with this install.  The icon never works properly, just gives a "Please wait a moment" message in portrait orientation, and then switches back to landscape and quits.

When i try to run prdoom, it fails to find the iwad.   The only way to get it to run is to make a symlink to the prdoom.wad in the directory that has the doom.wad in it, and run prdoom from that directory.  Otherwise it fails to find the wads.  If i try to modify the .cfg in home/zaurus, it still fails to find the wads, and also appears to spontaneously combust afterwards (even if i change it back) requiring a nuke and reinstall of the prdoom package before it will work.

Finally, in order to get it to run in landscape mode (assuming i'm running as described above, from the wad directory), i have to set it in the cfg to run at 640x480, which is pretty jumpy.

I haven't figured out how to turn on and off magnification, but perhaps if i can find a commandline switch to magnify the app, it will work even with 320x200 (magnified).

There are obviously some poor install scripts in one or more of these packages.

Ideas?
