Display orientation controls greyed out
What could be the reason that the options in Control Center -> Peripherals -> Display -> Orientation are greyed out (i.e. unavailable) on my KDE installation?
I have a flat panel monitor that can rotate 90 degrees (i.e. switch between landscape and portrait orientation). I am looking for a way to make this work under Linux. I am running KDE 3.4 under the Ubuntu/hoary.
Any help would be very appreciated!
It could be that the RANDR extension is not loaded
# xdpyinfo | grep RANDR
You could also exmine the X server's log, if it contains something related to RANDR

Seems to be loaded. xdpyinfo lists it, and the X server's log has the following:
(=
RandR enabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
Any other ideas, anyone?
Same thing
