Hi,
# Well, didn't get hardware rotation to work yet, but at least I could # rotate the X server screen, so the desktop runs properly. Didn't know you could do that :O
Well, it's a parameter for the fbdev driver, so it's not X that's doing it, but the driver :)
# You mentioned you could not run a DE, only direct programs - well, # probably because of portrait mode. Shouldn't matter; Unix displays have come in Portrait for a long long time .. was using them 20 years ago. (Pretty glorious too ..)
Right... and that got me thinking.
Sorry, I can't offer any advice here, just noting that portrait should ("should") be okay.
That's actually good advice - as I thought about that shifting of the display again and made some tests.
It seems we still have a bug in either the display driver or the DSS from the OMAP5.
The full picture is shifted DOWN. Means: In portrait mode, at the top at the display, there's a small black bar - and at the bottom of the display, the same amount of pixels are not shown.
This is already the case when Tux (while booting) appears.
Which explains also why we didn't have a panel in portrait mode - the panel is on the bottom (and that part of the screen is missing).
# So far, whatever I've been trying, I didn't have ANY ghosting on the # display! # It has a VERY dark black and very nice colors.
Great stuff :)
