Well, I was generalizing a bit. I have a script to be able to view some
webcams on my home LAN that rotates the screen before/after displaying them.
However, this should work:
------------ /home/root/togglerotate.sh --------------
#!/bin/sh
pos=`xrandr --verbose | grep LVDS | awk '{print $5}'`
if [[ $pos == 'normal' ]]; then
xrandr -o 1
else
xrandr -o 0
xrandr --dpi 284x280
fi
------------------------------------------------------
---- /usr/share/applications/togglerotate.desktop ----
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Toggle Rotation
Comment=rotate screen
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/home/root/togglerotate.sh
Icon=vala-terminal
Terminal=false
Categories=GTK;Network;Main;
SingleInstance=true
StartupNotify=true
------------------------------------------------------
I think you have to restart X to get it to pick up the new .desktop file.
If anyone knows of a more correct value for dpi, please post it. I just found
284x280 by trial and error. Also, I couldn't find a value that works for
landscape mode; so, the script only sets it when switching back to portrait
mode.
