[Linux-fbdev-devel] Portait to Lanscape

[<pet...@ph...>]

Hi,

I'm using an intel assabet development board on which I swapped the display. The new display is a portait mode display
and now I want to present my user interface in lanscape mode. Did somebody did this allready using the framebuffer??

Dear Mr. Hiddings,

	not exactly, but I have flipped the framebuffer by 180° for a
pos-terminal. Works only on x86 and not 100% still in development. I'm
thinking about to extend it to rotate the display by 90°. We could share
the code.

Regards Florian

For the text console, just supply your own drawing routines. Creating e.g.
fbcon-cfb8-rot90 from fbcon-cfb8 shouldn't be that difficult.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
