Rotating X with xrandr
Although I've used a tiny bit of Linux here and there, this is the first time I've used it for more than a few days. The one thing that bugs me the most: I can't rotate my display. I use a program called Pivot Pro in Windows that can rotate your display... so you turn your monitor on its side - it's great for web browsing, and I play a lot of vertical games in MAME, so I don't have to rotate my monitor back and forth when swtiching between MAME and everything else.
From what I understand, the xrandr command is supposed to do the trick (in XFree86 4.3.0, anyway, which is what I have). But here's what happenes when I try it:
xrandr -o left
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 156 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
Does this just mean that my video driver doesn't support this? It's an integrated Intel810 by the way.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
