I'm going to have to apologize for my newness. I looked in the man files
for xorg.conf and tfdx and I didn't find a rotation option. I suspect that
my card will not support it. Is rotation video card dependent?

I'm going to have to apologize for my newness. I looked in the man files
for xorg.conf and tfdx and I didn't find a rotation option. I suspect that
my card will not support it. Is rotation video card dependent?

I also ran the command 'xrandr -q' which was recomended in the xrandr man
file and it's output was:

        Current rotation - normal
        Current reflection - none
        Rotations possible - normal
        Reflections possible - none

This again makes me think that rotation is not possible, but perhaps that
is because the rotation option is not enabled.

Thanks for your quick advice
