Using Gnome 2.14 and xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.4.1.3-4.cvs20060322, On-the-fly rotation does work.

[[User:Saikat|I]] have not been able to duplicate this. I am using the stock Fedora X.org server with the [http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/development/i386/repodata/repoview/xorg-x11-drv-i810-0-1.4.1.3-4.cvs20060322.1.html xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.4.1.3-4.cvs20060322] driver mentioned above.

Running {{cmduser|xdpyinfo}} returns:

Running {{cmduser|xrandr -o 3}} results in:

It should be possible with version 1.6+ of the i810 driver. You can build this from the CVS repository, but it will not build properly on anything less than X11R7.0-RC2. ~[[User:Loki|Loki]]

I tried today's CVS/GIT [Xorg + IntelGrapicsDriver, 15.4.2006]. It doesn't work. ~[[User:Mcfrost|Mcfrost]]

Try this:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2756697/com/xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm.html
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2756771/com/xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm.html

You should be able to fix any unresolved dependencies with other rpms on that site, which likely means upgrading your X server package as well. Read the updated man page that comes with the RPM for more info. ~[[User:Loki|Loki]]

Confirmed for: xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-1 and xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.99.901-5. On-the-fly screen rotation works with these two packages. ~[[User:Saikat|Saikat]]

== Mesa Packages ==

The mesa packages mentioned in the page are long gone from Fedora Development; in their place are packages that require a newer glibc and can't be installed on FC5. Does anyone still have these packages lying around? Thanks - [[User:Syskill|Syskill]]
