Re: Can I change the X rotate the xf86-video-fbdev during execution ?

2016-05-27 Thread Alex Deucher
Runtime rotation using randr only works with randr 1.2+ capable drivers. I don't think the fbdev supports that. On supported drivers: xrandr --output --rotate right|left|inverted|normal Alex On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 1:46 AM, κΆŒνƒœμ˜ wrote: > > > Good morning. > > > > I have a problem in using th

Hi I need GLX in my work - radiation modelling in particle physics, nuclear physics, medicine (radiation therapy) and spacecraft design. Radiation modelling takes lots of remote CPU and we display results locally via X11 with GLX using relatively low bandwidth. Using Quartz on Mac. John Alli

You do know that Adam is one of the core X server maintainers, right? If he says you're wrong, then I believe him and you should too. (Though the mail he points to says you're only half wrong - yes it is disabled by default today, but no, we've not announced any plans to make it completely go awa

I'm glad to hear that one of the core X server maintainer is saying that it is not going "completely" away. Also that he is adding an xorg.conf option to enable IGLX. Great news! We can rest easier. I could not for the life of me understand how this could be removed, but that was the informa
