Re: Switching the orientation of the screen
2008/12/11 Clemens Dörrhöfer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am starting to learn pygtk and my helloworld Project is this primitiv gui, which lets you switch the orientatin of the screen. I don't like the automatic switching and with the help of this, I can do it manually. It's not pretty, but it works. If you find it usefull, feel free to use. The tar archive contains a mercurial repository so don't hesitate to send me changelogs if you come along big programming sins. does it cure the problems that are present when this is done from the commend-line, with xrandr? i've been using a shell script, but find switching orientation more than about 3 times will give problems like a misaligned screen and screen artefacts, that need an x restart ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It is just a handy gui for xrandr not more. But so far I did not run into major broblems with xrandr, that is not with 2008.9. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

If you mean the mess after the rotation (strange lines/graphic that fixes after a refresh) I noticed this doesn't appear using the gestures rotation, anyone knows why?

But since this was primarly a project for learning pygtk it was no waste of time :-) I have some nice ideas, which I want to implement with pygtk and this time I will search for it before I create a second wheel. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
