Is there a way to boot grml with the screen rotated. Once X starts there is xrandr, but console is puzzling.
Have a look at linux/Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt
,---- | 4. fbcon=rotate:<n> | | This option changes the orientation angle of the console display. The | value 'n' accepts the following: | | 0 - normal orientation (0 degree) | 1 - clockwise orientation (90 degrees) | 2 - upside down orientation (180 degrees) | 3 - counterclockwise orientation (270 degrees) | | The angle can be changed anytime afterwards by 'echoing' the same | numbers to any one of the 2 attributes found in | /sys/class/graphics/fbcon | | rotate - rotate the display of the active console | rotate_all - rotate the display of all consoles | | Console rotation will only become available if Console Rotation | Support is compiled in your kernel. | | NOTE: This is purely console rotation. Any other applications that | use the framebuffer will remain at their 'normal'orientation. | Actually, the underlying fb driver is totally ignorant of console | rotation. `----
So one solution is to create a startup script which change /sys/class/graphics/fbcon or add a boot parameter.
