Landscape Linux Console For C860
« on: August 26, 2004, 01:03:59 pm »
Where can I get a Linux console for my C860 that supports landscape mode?  So far I've tried both Konsole and Qkonsole.. They both switch the C860 into portrait mode when they run.

I think they both already support landscape mode; you sound like you're having the infamous run-in-magnified-by-default problem. Welcome to the Zaurus!

Try press-and-holding on the Konsole icon until you get a properties page up. De-select "Display with magnified screen", and select OK. Then re-run the app.

This works with most applications although some of 'em look odd when run this way.

Another suggestion is to read the FAQ and try searching before you post - this topic has been covered at least 4 times this year.
