It is unaccelerated, but indeed rotated. 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? > Sorry, forgot to mention one more thing. xrandr extension allows for > rotation (I think that's the second r).

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.
