-'''update by Kurt Van Dijck'''
+== rotated ==
-I modified the above program to use read (not fread) with struct input_event
+I found that rotating the desktop area in landscape (using xrandr) makes the XGlamo eat the CPU on my GTA-02
-datastructures. The simplifies the detection of current position. No sleeps
+system.
-are necessary, no incomplete reads, ....
-code is:
-http://www.ecirc.net/openmoko/rotate.c
-invoke with: rotate [ DEVICE FILE [landscape]]
+Rotating the display head (xrandr --output default ...) works without major CPU load.
-the second paraemeter is to allow landscape rotation. On my system,
+By using no libxrandr, but invoking xrandr commands, it only depends on the accelerometer.
-the glamo graphics driver eats all cpu when rotated in landscape.

 Here's a quick and simple C program that reads a packet from the
 accelerometer once per second, and rotates the screen to a new
 orientation if the orientation has changed.
 I don't mean this to conflict with Paul's excellent work on [[Gestures]];
