Hello, Roland. 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.
