Yes, I'm pretty sure the slide switch is attached to a GPIO. Anyway, we are currently trying to move our codebase into 2.6.30, so I'd say the rotation switch is very low priority :P > > Or is framebuffer rotation generally non-functional on the omap850 ? > > I'm sure I could take a look at it if it's still not implimented ... > (err... the gpio part... if framebuffer console rotation doesn't work > already, I might pass on that due to lack of time). Yes, we don't support it in linwizard yet. I'm thinking in gpio-buttons and a userspace script?? What didn't work was doing a echo 1 > /sys/class/fbcon/something/rotate The console could rotate but fbcondecor seemed to be unaware of new framebuffer size and rendered the decorations all fscked up. - Angelo
