Hi John,
"xrandr -o left" (both as root and user, from xterm) gives me:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
Serial number of gailed request: 14
Current serial number in the output stream: 14
If I recall correctly previously the same xrandr command did not report failure
but also did not have any effect whatsoever.
Would you mind trying my same configuration to confirm whether it works?
I think it will *not* work for you also.
Reproduction:
UEFI-boot OpenBSD 6.1 AMD64,
Use this /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "wsfb"
EndSection
Run startx, and run xrandr -o left from the xterm.
I expect that you will get the same non-functioning that I get and the next
question would be why doesn't it work and how fix.
If you could please try this and let me know would be very much appreciated,
thanks,
Tinker
