Going off the top of my head; I'm sure somebody will correct me. The flicker could be avoided if load detection were skipped, but I think that discussion's already been had. An animation could be done by a compositor, but at that point the compositor (not xrandr) would be handling the rotation. ~ C. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
