Re: Screen orientation
Hi there, Yes, it is a fact that kernel needs a better code, but as far as I know the Xv doesn't work very well with kdrives that is a small X not based on XFree86 implementation... This Xomap is a kdrive, so maybe it would be better try to add xrandr support to this Xomap: http://gitweb.pingu.fi/?p=xf86-video-omapfb.git;a=tree;f=src;h=b6255dda0b6adefd1de00228429c3e139c3916f1;hb=HEAD that is an xf86 implementation... well, it is only a guess On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Frantisek Dufka duf...@seznam.cz wrote: gary liquid wrote: thanks for the reminder :) I have put together a report including test cases on the itt forum http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=261099 I have added my comment there but I'm not sure where is the best place to discuss it.
