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,
