Hi Mark In your post below, you mention that the nv driver is a "rotate capable driver". I'm interested in setting up a Linux / XFree system on a tablet computer, and was wondering if you knew which drivers are "rotate capable"? Most of the tablets I've been looking at just use the graphics adaptor inside the North Bridge ( ie - Intel 830M ). Do you know if the Intel driver in XFree86 supports the rotate functionality? I know that when these tablets run Windoze that they can run in portrait mode, so I'm reasonably sure the hardware can do it.
If you have any info on this topic, I'd appreciate any advice you could offer. Thanks in advance, Mark Mark Cuss Real Time Systems Analyst CDL Systems Ltd.
