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?
