BeagleBone Black & Ubuntu & Rotate Screen

[Micka]

Hi,

Maybe we should update this wiki on how to rotate the screen :

http://elinux.org/CircuitCo:BeagleBone_LCD7#Rotating_LCD_Screen

Because we are now on Debian ... 

I followed this tutorial http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Tallscreen_Monitor  :

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf =>

Section "Monitor"

        # This identifier would be the same as the name

        # of the connector printed by xrander.

        Identifier      "LVDS-0"

        Option          "Rotate"        "right"

        #Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080

        # A line such as this ^ may be necesary if you

        # are not getting your prefered resolution.

        # These numbers need not be reversed with tallscreen orientation.

EndSection

after I reboot my Beagle and I got :

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Do you have any idea ? How can we fix that ?

Thx,

[Micka]

well, I'm on debian.

I fixed the problem with :

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev

and with :

Section "Device"

        Identifier      "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"

        Driver          "fbdev"

        Option         "Rotate" "CW"
