Can I display X upside down?

I have a monitor that I'd like to mount to the underside of a shelf. This will, of course cause the monitor to be upside down. Is it possible to orient X so that it will render upside down on the monitor? I realize that all non-X screens (i.e. boot messages etc.) will be upside down still but I can live with that. As an alternative, anyone know of any diplay drivers that will allow a flipped configuration?

TIA.

John

I would recommend a TFT with vga mount bracket, the can be installed underside of a shelf or to a wall.

Or, if you have xrandr enabled, try this:

Code: Select all

xrandr -o inverted

KDE has settings for it under "Display" in the Control Center, so I'd assume it's possible.

The KDE method works well for me!
