Framebuffer orientation
Hi,
Is there any way to use the framebuffer on the i386 architecture in a 'portrait' way? I am using a QBE web tablet and it favours the screen in that position. (768x1024).
I know X can do it for a few videocards, but not this one :-)
Regards,
Dennis

The answer is that if performance is not a major issue, implementing this for a given graphics card is now pretty easy, using the shadow frame buffer code.
For straight frame buffers, the TinyX server will now do this "out of the box".
