Thanks! That works. The console is solved, modulo minor
timing/sync/hpos/vpos glitches.
But X has a problem. The problem is getting X to start in portrait
mode. The user wants the whole PC to launch in portrait from console to
X.
Two possibilities exist for xorg.conf with nvidia:
Option "RandRRotation" "true"
# Option "Rotate" "CCW" # careful, disables randr module!
The user needs "RandRRotation" so we can't use "Rotate". Rotate will
start X in portrait mode, but prohibits landscape (by disabling RandR).
The user needs both modes available.
("Rotate" also introduces ugly video timing/sync problems not present in
RandR, which works beautifully in comparison.)
So how to start X with r-and-r active in portrait mode?
Thanks,
M.
