There is a program call xrandr and other similar guis that can do this. There is probably a setting in xorg.conf for this I expect. Google for 'xrandr'.
I have installed xrandr on my laptop which has pivot screen. however i am only able to get this to work for increasing/decreasing screen resolutions and not for changing layout from "landscape" to "portrait" or reversing/reflecting x or y axis. OTOH I have really not goone deeper in to error messages but they are reproduced below. BTW right now I am running Ubuntu7.04 but earlier this was loaded with Debian Etch with same results. -- Regards, Sudev Barar OUTPUTS: sudev@laptop01:~$ xrandr -o inverted X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 156 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig) Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 12
