You should be able to do it with xrandr, something like 'xrandr -o left'

Left, right, normal and inverted are the possible rotation options.

I believe you need to add this to the driver config section in your xorg.conf to allow you to do this:

Code:

 Option "Rotate" "RandR"

I have some problems... If I do it as user I have

Code:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  155 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  12

as root

Code:

Can't open display

I have so section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :Files, 4 sections InputDevice, Device, Monitor, Screen and ServerLayout, but no driver

It'd be added in the 'device' section.

thanks, now when I write "xrandr -o left", image really turned.. But, how I can automate this(when I turn monitor this command runs and used some other command that change expansion of the screen)?

Samsung has their own proprietary software to do this in Windows, it won't be as simple since they don't make the same software for Linux. If it is possible to do this, you'll probably have to come up with some kind of script that works with this: http://jaffar.cs.msu.su/oleg/ddcci/

What I have done with my screen that rotates is just add a couple launcher buttons to the xfce panel, just click to rotate.
