Screen Rotations On The Cx*
« on: April 09, 2005, 07:03:43 am »
HI all

I wanted to know something about the screen rotation feature in the C series. The landscape and the portrait rotation correspond to 270 and 0 degrees. I was wondering how I can rotate the screen to 90 as well as 180 degrees.

What (script, program) is called when the screen changes from landscape to portrait and vice-versa. The thing is that I would like to read documents in ladscape, in tablet mode and the jogdial on top as opposed to the bottom.

if anyone can help it would be great.

I think I originally read about this when we were first trying to get doom onto the clamshell.  I think it had to do with the libsdl at the time.  I'm not sure.  Try doing a search for doom rotation.
I'm now an iphone user and use my zaurii as serial terminals, perl and shell scripting and when I need 640x480 screens
