SyncMaster 710n pivot


My LCD has pivot mode but i don't know how i can use that.

I've read manual but I can't even reflect my screen across x or y axis.
I've tried also transform option. Nothing worked.

In result I've got only massage that i don't understand:
Code:
$ xrandr -x
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  151 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
  Serial number of failed request:  14
  Current serial number in output stream:  14
some info about my screen:
Code:
$ xrandr

Hi,

You can rotate your screen running:
Code:
xrand -o left
Randr must be enable in xorg.conf, so edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add
Code:
Option "RandRRotation" "true"
among the other options in the device section of your vga card.

Regards
