 |
|
Something else I have never done before that just seems like a foreign language.
In KDE / System Settings / General / Display / Size & Orientation, the Orientation option has only "No Rotation" available (no other options). I have also tried putting:
| Code: |
Option "Rotate" "CCW"
|
in xorg.conf (which had no effect).
Does anybody know how to get this to work? |

Do you have 'Option "RandRRotation" "on"' in 'Section "Device"' of your xorg.conf? IIRC it doesn't work without it.

Have you tried using the nvidia-provided utility for changing resolutions and the like?
Nvidia blobs do not work well with xrandr, so these things can be a pain in the ass. If 3d is not really important to you, you could try nouveau. |

Maybe I have the same problem. I am using the nvidia-drivers.
Since xorg-server-1.9.4 I am not able to rotate the screen (with the nvidia-settings tool). My workaround was to stick to xorg-server-1.9.2.
I was so tired of the nvidia-drivers that I never investigated the problem deeper or filed a bug report.
(I planed since weeks to switch to nouveau, today I did)
Btw. I was using nvidia-drivers-270.41.06 |

Thanks.
I am now using xorg-server 1.9.5 and the patch you mentioned solved the problem also for me.
(I failed switching to the nouveau driver. In my office I connect my Laptop to two rotated displays. But if I do, the mouse pointer in kwin is vanished. Maybe there is also a fix for this, but for the moment I am going to stick the the nvidia-drivers). |

I just updated to x11-base/xorg-server-1.10.2
While using TwinView with two Displays, I was not able to rotate the screen.
I received the following error message
| Code: |
$ xrandr -o left
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
Value in failed request: 0x780
Serial number of failed request: 14
Current serial number in output stream: 14
|
After applying the patch you mentioned everything worked fine again.

| I got an email three days ago, that this bug has been resolved in version 1.10.3. So this was the last version you had to patch. |

Hello,
With the patch screen rotation with xrandr and nvidia-settings work. 
However I would like to use the tray-based krandrtray to rotate the screen. It offers 0/90/180/270° options for rotation but they do not work (just with no message even when started on a console, screen stays as it is).
Is there any solution for this?
