Why is the screen orientation of GP Linux in portrait? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it in landscape (since it would normally be 80x25)...
 
This orientation is the default logical mode because the GP's screen is 90° rotated this way. It should be possible to use a 'landscape mode' but I think it would require a little bit more processing power, maybe I'm wrong?
 
fbset can change timing or resolution parameters, but cannot rotate the screen.
 
This won't help anybody but that remembers me of a funny windows 2000 bug I saw once : the display was rotated by 90° clockwise, and it still worked ... flawlessly. :lol:
It is no joke, it is just windows 2000 sp4.
