screen rotation - some questions.

[mafeusek@gmail.com]

Hallo Group Members

I try to rotate screen on my old PIII 1Ghz.

I have following built in graphics card:
$ lspci
...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset
Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 04)
...

Unfortunately nothing of following works:
$ xrandr -o right
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
  Serial number of failed request:  14
  Current serial number in output stream:  14
$ xrandr -o left
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
  Serial number of failed request:  14
  Current serial number in output stream:  14

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
...
	Option "RandRRotation" "True"
	Option "Rotate" "CW"
...

/var/log/Xorg.0.log:
...
(**) intel(0): DPMS enabled
(II) intel(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) intel(0): Direct rendering enabled
(WW) intel(0): Option "RandRRotation" is not used
(WW) intel(0): Option "Rotate" is not used
(==) RandR enabled
...

$ uname -a
Linux myPC 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 22:02:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux


Did anyone manage to rotate screen on this hardware?

I also have a chance to get Radeon 9200 SE agp card. Does this one allow
for screen rotation?

best regards,
