I think OE should specify the hardware (since it's in the MACHINE namespace anyway) and have userspace deal with rotation and stuff. The main question remains: what are people going to (ab)use this for? If it's just for opie backgrounds I don't see why adding 3 or more lines to each and every machine is less work than adding one machine override to the background package. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD4DBQFGkpi6MkyGM64RGpERAq/AAJi6NzXwnUoFlVytANkXA8voyPaTAJ4mWblB DuMuNnxqg1h/cn7GBORPkw== =Pq/i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
