Subject: [gentoo-amd64] Xorg and Monitor Rotation

Message-ID: <op.tpblgzfku6j4vy@spencer.aistleitner.info> (raw)
Hello,
is there a way to determine automatically via software whether a Samsung
203B Monitor is currently oriented landscape or portrait in its mounting?
I am using xorg-x11-7.2 / xorg-server-1.2.0-r1 with the nvidia driver for
my GeForce2 MX graphics card to which I've attached a Samsung 203B Monitor
via an analog VGA cable.
(Therefore, it is rather xorg related than gentoo related, but I could not
find a xorg xser mailing list. And this issue is certainly not developer
related and hence does not fit to xorg@freedesktop.org.)
According to the Samsung support, there is Windows software (MagicRotation
in Auto mode) that allows to detect whether or the monitor is currently
rotated landscape or portrait within its mounting.
I cannot find software to detect the monitor's orientation on GNU/Linux.
Can anybody point me to such software (or documents how to write such
software)?
When rotating the monitor I cannot see any messages written to the xorg
log file nor to the system log files. Is there some way to get hold of
rotation events?
Kind regards,
Christian
