[SOLVED]Screen rotate doesn't work

[fickx]

I've made a normal configuration for full screen web page show. Everything works except screen rotation. Whatever i chose, the screen is always in the normal position.
There are any special requirements for screen rotation?

I've tested in VirtualBox and psychical machine (old HP e-vectra)
porteus-kiosk version 3.3.0

Is the first time i test this distro, thanks for any help

bad news - this is a very old GPU (first intel generation?) which uses XAA acceleration not supported by Xorg since 1.13 release:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n ... px=MTA0NDg

we have xorg-server 1.16.x in kiosk resulting in following error:

Code: Select all

[    12.269] (EE) intel: Failed to load module "xaa" (module does not exist, 0)

as a result Intel driver fallbacks to VESA:

which does not support screen rotation.

there is no solution to this problem i'm afraid other than using some old Linux distribution or using additional nVidia/AMD GPU card (both PCI/AGP should be good).

sorry about that
