RandR with mga driver



Hello,

I decided to test Daniel Stone's packages (4.3.0-0ds4) because I have
a rotating LCD screen. Everything worked altogether except two things:

- Sawfish (windows manager) didn't recognise the Alt key any more (it
was called Mod1). I do not know why, and since all other applications do
fine with it (Xev shows the right state), I think it is a bug in
sawfish.

- Main problem: no rotation available. xrandr (1) works pretty fine
for resizing (problems are with gnome), but no rotation is possible:
xrandr -q:
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1600 x 1200   ( 411mm x 311mm )  *60
 1   1400 x 1050   ( 411mm x 311mm )   59
 2   1280 x 1024   ( 411mm x 311mm )   75   60
[Lots of possible values]
 22   320 x 200    ( 411mm x 311mm )   85
 23   320 x 175    ( 411mm x 311mm )   85
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none

Of course, trying the rotation fails with an argument mismatch...

- I know I missed testing this before Xfree 4.3 was put in experimental,
but my free time was this week, not next week. I will try other versions
as provided by the great debian package maintainers.

I use mga driver, and can provide more info as requested.
I can also try other mailing-lists if this is not appropriate.

Sincerly,
