I would say that Xrandr extension is enabled by default on XF86 shipped with sarge. You can assure yourself by looking into the XF86 log. The result in my machine was: ender@polgara:~$ grep -i rand /var/log/XFree86.0.log (==) RandR enabled (II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR or also: ender@polgara:~$ xdpyinfo | grep RANDR RANDR Anyway, I would say that *even* when you have XRandr extension enabled, you can be unable to do it, as I am: ender@polgara:~$ xrandr -o left X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 155 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig) Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 12 I guess that my drivers are too old for this (this is Debian X 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14). Maybe we will have finally rotation working with x.org Debian packages, and they are just about to be released (fingers crossed) in experimental distribution. I know that I did not give you a real solution, only guessings. Best regards, Ender. -- What was that, honey? It was bad. It had no fire, no energy, no nothing.
