[Openchrome-users] VIA Unichrome/Openchrome display driver support for widescreen and screen rotation

[Welf]

1360x768 works on my CN700 based EN1500 displaying on a NEC plasma.
Here is the modeline I use:

Modeline "1360x768" 85.50 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771 777 795 +hsync
+vsync

Yes, the openChrome driver supports any mode, given a suitable ModeLine
(there isn't a built-in one for that resolution, but you could try the
`gtf` program) or if your monitor describes such a mode via EDID.

Yes, but only without any acceleration.

If you turn a CRT TV (or monitor) on its side, the picture will end up
looking very weird with all the wrong colours, unless it has been
designed to be turned in the first place.
