Screen rotation using newest fglrx?

I'm running an ATI X600 with fglrx 8.32.5-1 in Gnome and I'm trying to get counter-clockwise rotation in my monitors. Does anyone know if the fglrx driver supports screen rotation?
I've had no luck trying to use RandRRotate and also just Rotate and setting that to CCW or CW, but they get ignored when I look through Xorg.0.log. Am I trying to make something work that just isn't supported yet?
I'm looking at buying a new card anyways (nvidia) so maybe I'll just wait on it, unless anyone has good news.

I've not experienced this issue as we've discussed in your other thread mentioning this issue.
Has this occurred to you across various OS releases?
Does it occur across different e-mail sources and providers?

How to blank laptop screen when using external monitor/

Hi there
I need some help with figuring out how to configure my xorg.conf for my Arch Linux 64 bit installation on a HP Pavilion dv 5000 laptop so that I can automatically blank my laptop screen when using an external monitor. I have Arch Linux installed along with Ubuntu Feisty. In Ubuntu my external monitor (Viewsonic 1912WB) was not detected at the time of installation but with the native 1280X800 resolution that is good for the laptop takes effect for the external monitor automatically when the external monitor is plugged in. The laptop monitor goes blank when the external monitor is plugged in.
In my Arch Linux installation I have not been able to configure a dual head configuration using the ATI Radeon drivers (fglrx). I have the native 1280X800 resolution set up for the laptop monitor and this resolution takes effect for the external monitor also. However the laptop monitor also continues to function when the external monitor is plugged in. I would like to blank the laptop monitor when using the external monitor.
I am attaching my Arch Linux xorg.conf and the Ubuntu xorg.conf below. Thanks for anyone who can help, I am having a lot of difficulty in figuring out how to set up xorg.conf among all the things that I have had to learn so far in Linux and I am a relative newcomer to the whole thing. I have tried to compare the two xorg.conf files and edit my Arch xorg.conf in accordance with the Ubuntu one but it did not work and I keep getting errors!
I am using XFCE as my Desktop environment.

Xrandr 1.2 provides means for this. But today the only supported configuration is xorg-server-1.3 + xf86-video-intel-2.0. So for Radeon you'll have to wait for drivers that support Randr 1.2.
On my laptop (Thinkpad x60s) that would be:
xrandr --output VGA --auto
xrandr --output LVDS --off

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.

IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times. I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position). I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back. This is very annoying.
I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos. Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use. It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located. (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

After updating to iOS 8.3, seem like the wifi signal got worst. The screen rotation is still as bad

sseem like the updates which were pushed didn't do any much hel, the wifi signal was even weaker than before, at times I will be totally disconnected from my home wifi.
And the screen rotation... i don't see any difference to it.

Mine won't even rotate now. So I have not scientific calculator. Apple support recommends backup and restore.

Screen Rotation on a B&W G3

Hey everyone,
I have a great Dell FP1901 Monitor that supports portrait mode (it swivels 90 degrees easily) and I've heard that Tiger supports it natively.
Anyway, I have the latest version of Tiger: 10.4.8 and I still cannot get the screen rotation option. Does the typical video card on the B&W G3 not support screen rotation? I have the ATI Rage 128 or whatever is the normal card that comes with the B&W G3s.
Let me know what I have to do - since this would be a feature I would get a TON of use out of, being a web designer.
Thanks!
Tim

From what I understand the monitor has nothing to do with the rotation of the screen. For example my NEC Laptop running Windows XP can rotate the screen, as it can on my external 19" TFT Targa Visionary monitor. There is nothing special about either screen, or the drivers used (Plug & Play). The screen rotation is handled by the Intel graphics driver. The fact that you can easily physically rotate your screen is irrelevant to the way the graphics card draws to it.
Now I think about it, Tiger supports screen rotation on some graphics cards. What does my NEC Laptop and some Macs have in common? An integrated Intel 9xx GMA graphics card.
As Apple did not mention any specific monitor requirements on the page I already cited I would surmise from this that it is your graphics card that does not support the screen rotation and rather than being computationally expensive the rotation is handled by the graphics card (by simply changing the order it reads from it memory for conversion in the DAC).
So to concur with your assumptions: 1. Your graphics card seems not to support screen rotation.
I am unaware of a 3rd party PCI card based on the Intel 9xx GMA, nor do I know of a Mac compatible PCI ATI card which would allow you to rotate the screen in Tiger.
Not that it helps with your particular setup but I would put money on your Dell monitor working perfectly with a shiny new Mac mini.
Hope that helps.
Jason.

Screen rotation not working in iso 5.0.1 ver

Screen rotation is not working in ios 5.0.1 ver in ipad2 with 3g please help

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPhone 6 Plus screen rotate glitch

Has anyone noticed that the home screen doesn't rotate and the native mail app doesn't switch to 2 columns IF you have the phone set on the "zoomed" view vs. the standard view?
Try it... set your iPhone 6 Plus to zoomed view (Settings > Display & Brightness > View > Zoomed). Does your home screen rotate? Do you have two columns in mail when you rotate to landscape?
Hopefully Apple sends out a bug patch a.s.a.p. I like using the "Zoomed" view, but don't like that it hinders the screen rotate function of the home screen and native mail app.
Anyone else notice this?

I also found that the two column view is only works in standard view. I just got my iPhone 6+ a couple of days ago. What are the advantages of the zoomed view?

IPhone 6 Plus screen rotation issue

The home and lock screens on my wife's iPhone 6 plus rotate. Can this be shut off? And if I turn on the screen rotation lock, will it stop rotation of the lock and home screens as well as the regular use screens (i.e. - apps, Safari, etc...)? Can these two functions (lock and home screen rotation and all other screen rotation) be set independent of each other?

I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.

IOS 8.1.2 Ipad mini 2 Laging and slower screen rotation

I have just updated my brand new iPad mini 2 with IOS 8.1.2 and the screen rotation became slower ,at the lock screen it became more obvious it takes 1-5 seconds to rotate and the "slide to unlock" slider animation is freezing and lagging ,at the application screen takes 1-3 seconds ,the problem goes when I restart the device ,How Can I solve this problem .

Hi there farahatology,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into general performance issues with your iPad mini. One thing you may want to try, to rule out software issues, is restoring your iPad to factory settings as shown in the article linked below.

External screen rotation broken?

Hi all,
I've got a unibody macbook (first generation) with the Nvidia Geforce 9400M GPU. When I installed Snow Leopard in the place of Leopard, screen rotation stopped working for me. I have a mini-displayport to dual-link dvi adapter connected to matrox triplehead2go digital edition with two 24" flat panels connected for a screen resolution of 3840x1080.
In Leopard, I set the screen rotation to 90 degrees, and I rotate my two screens and everything is great. In Snow Leopard, no matter what I set the screen rotation to, it never actually rotates the display. According to System Profile, screen rotation is supported:

When the screen is set to be rotated, instead of saying Rotation: Supported, it says Rotation: 90, or 270, or whatever it's currently set to.

Lack of official support (from Matrox) doesn't have anything to do with the problem.
I have USB keys, and external hard drives, that aren't officially supported by the manufacturer on OSX, and the drives work just fine because there is no bug in the OSX drivers. Like DVI, USB mass storage works using standards.
If in Snow Leopard, external drives stopped working when the drive size was exactly 3.5798 GB, it wouldn't matter whether or not the manufacturer of the drive supported OSX, there would still be a problem with the driver.
The TripleHead2Go is just a monitor, and DVI doesn't support rotation, it's something that's built into the Apple/Nvidia drivers.
In any case, to prove the point, when I use the TripleHead2Go and set the display size to 1920x1080, rotation works just fine. When I use the TripleHead2Go and set the display size to 3840x1080, rotation doesn't work at all.
The driver no longer handles rotation at 3840x1080, which it used to in Leopard. If I had $55,000 just to prove a point, I'd buy the Barco LX5 Projector, which supports 3840x1080 natively.
In any case, the point I'm trying to make is that the device works fine in Snow Leopard, OSX just sees it as an attached monitor. The problem is with the driver not handling 3840x1080 as a display resolution when rotated to portrait. It works just fine in landscape.

Moving desktop icons with Yoga screen rotation and Windows 8

I have a Yoga 11s. I have a bunch of desktop icon shortcuts and folders on my desktop as I rarely use the Windows 8 "tiles." Unfortunately, when using the Yoga as a tablet, whenever the screen rotates, all my desktop shortcuts and folders move around. Is there any way to get them to stay in place in Windows 8? I realize that when one rotates the tablet around that the icons have to move around to accommodate the screen rotation, but when I rotate the screen back to the horizontal position, they don't return to the position they were in.
Thanks!

I did get a potential solution over on a Windows 8 forum. Unfortunately the solution doesn't stop the migration of the icons. It only restores them to their original position with a few mouse clicks. I have yet to find a solution that keeps the icons from moving in the first place.
I downloaded a program called Iconoid. When you first run the program, a little windows pops up. You click on the positions tab, then put the dot in the selection that says "use relative positions for all resolutions." You then hit the "save icon positions (relative)" button and now the program remembers where all of your icons are.
When you rotate the screen and all your icons get messed up, you open Iconoid (in systray for me), go to that same "positions" tab, then hit the "restore icon positions now." That moves all the icons back to where they were. You just have to make sure that if you change your icons on your desktop a lot, that you hit that "save icon positions (relative) button once in a while so the program gets updated icon positions.

Screen Rotation in Remote App

My screen used to rotate while using the Apple Remote App so I could set my iPad in the landscape position on it's smart cover while I was using it. Now it won't rotate out of portrait mode. All my other apps that rotate still do. Has this changed in Remote? Does it only display in portrait mode now? That would be a bummer!
I can't find any settings that pertain to just this app and screen rotation.
Thanks.

Are other people able to turn their iPad Minis and have the Remote app rotate it's screen?

Screen rotation using newest fglrx?
