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? If you mean misalignment of the touchscreen calibration, I noticed (speaking about gestures rotation) that this appears only when the screen is rotated upside down (phone oriented vertically with "hole" on top ;) ), while the remaining three positions are well calibrated. Is there an explanation about this? Thank you in advance, bye! ___ 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

Switching the orientation of the screen
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. oswitch.tar.bz2 Description: Binary data ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
