Hello all-
I've got FC5 installed on my Toshiba Portege 3500. My setup notes are here:

Other than some issues with the Toshiba's proprietary DVDROM setup, it was a pretty painless install. FC5 works fine, the XServer has done well with the LCD monitor, and the pen works great.
However, screen rotation doesn't work! One of my reasons for upgrading to FC5 was the hope that later X versions would support rotation, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
[tomva@portege ~]$ xrandr
SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 1024 x 768 ( 241mm x 181mm ) *60
1 800 x 600 ( 241mm x 181mm ) 60 56
2 640 x 480 ( 241mm x 181mm ) 60
3 848 x 480 ( 241mm x 181mm ) 70
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none
As you can see, no rotations are allowed.
If I tweak my xorg.conf file, I can get a rotated screen (following these instructions:
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/...doc/SiS2.html). But that means restarting X every time I want to rotate the screen, which is heavyweight.
Any tips to get xrandr working? I'm hoping there is an updated xorg or other package I can install to get rotation working.
Many thanks!
