I know that both OPIE and GPE (X Windows) support screen rotation in software. I think they use a shadow framebuffer... Has anyone on either of the lists started implementing this in 2.6.x ??? I know the Zaurus CL-3xxx series use the pxafb driver and fbcon is rotated on these devices. My platform uses the amba_clcd driver and fbcon is also rotated on this device. See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12904686 for the Zaurus info. Is there some easy / good way to add rotated console support to the kernel? Or do we have to use a shadow framebuffer? Thanks for any help / suggestions ... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
