N800 Screen Rotation

This video shows the screen rotation on a Nokia N800. We have here an Enlightenment running on Mamona distro where each navigation button is associated with an xrandr command, e.g. LEFT: xrandr -o left.
It was necessary to implement the xrandr support to xomap kdrive (1.3.99) and the LCD controller rotation support on linux-omap kernel.
The linux-omap patch was already accept and applied to linux omap git tree.

How about "auto screen rotation with g-sensor" ?

[DarkDragonVKQ]

xrandr is a Linux command that handles..well pretty much everything that has to do with a screen in Linux (dual screen, whether to display the screen vertically, horizontally, etc..). It can change resolutions like "xrandr 1024 768". What he did was bind xrandr commands to the keys on the n800. However, this isn't like the iPhone which has a sensor that detects when it's turned.
