Hello,
I am running SuSE 9.2 Professional with Xorg 8.6.1, an nVidia Geforce FX 5700
LE video card, and a ViewSonic VP201b pivoting flat panel. I installed the
most recent nvidia driver version (1.0-6629) from the .run file but have not
been able to get the screen to rotate.
Can anyone help me get the screen rotated 90 degress counter-clockwise? I
don't care about 3D acceleration but I do need the same resolution (1600 x
1200) and color depth (24bit).
I have tried:
1. Selecting rotate left in Sax2 > Desktop > Graphics Card > Advanced; option
not given.
2. Typing xrandr -o left at a terminal window; I get the following error
message:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 157 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
3. Editing XF86Config: Option RandR "off," Option Rotate "CCW". Screen
rotation did not occur; if I look at the KDE desktop orientation window it
says the X server does not support rotation and that XRANDR version 1.1 or
greater is needed.
I understand SuSE 9.2 uses XF86Config for Xorg (please correct me if I am
wrong), so I have pasted below the file as it is now.
Thanks,
Jeff Drouin
