help Screen rotation on tablet

[Unregistered User]

I have been banging my head and buldozing my install several times trying to figure this out. I have a Tri boot setup (XP,BT,Ubuntu) and I am trying to get my screen rotation working. I have copied this script from the Ubuntu Forums

#!/bin/sh
# rotate_display.sh
# Use xrandr & xsetwacom to rotate the display and digitiser

x_min=0
x_max=24700
y_min=0
y_max=18520

#function ROTATE() {
ROTATE() {
curr=`xrandr | awk '/Current rotation/ { print $4 }'`
case $curr in
normal)
CW
;;
*)
NORMAL
;;
esac
}


#function PORTRAIT() {
PORTRAIT() {
#xsetwacom set eraser BottomX $x_max
#xsetwacom set eraser BottomY $y_max
echo portrait
}


#function LANDSCAPE() {
LANDSCAPE() {
#xsetwacom set eraser BottomX $y_max
#xsetwacom set eraser BottomY $x_max
echo landscape
}


#function NORMAL() {
NORMAL() {
xrandr -o normal
xsetwacom set stylus Rotate NONE
xsetwacom set eraser Rotate NONE
PORTRAIT
}


#function CCW() {
CCW() {
xrandr -o left
xsetwacom set stylus Rotate CCW
xsetwacom set eraser Rotate CCW
LANDSCAPE
}


#function CW() {
CW() {
xrandr -o right
xsetwacom set stylus Rotate CW
xsetwacom set eraser Rotate CW
LANDSCAPE
}


case $1 in
-l)
CCW
;;
-r)
CW
;;
-n)
NORMAL
;;
*)
ROTATE
;;
esac


It has worked flawlessly in Ubuntu but in backtrack I get

X Error of failed request: Badmatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
landscape

I am using a Fujitsu Stylinstic 5020D ANY help would be appreciated. The stylus will rotate no problem its just the display. I checked and xrandr is on BT2. I cant figure out why it will work in ubuntu and not BT2 (slackware11)

I have to admit im getting proficient at the reinstall procedure though

The problem is in the command xrandr

here is a list of tries and results

xrandr -o left = error
xrandr -o right =error
xrandr -o normal = command is accepted but this is the normal view so nothing actually changes

it appears that my installation belives rotation is impossible.

I think the problem might be my xorg i have been trying to upgrade to 7.2 but have failed several times. There is a tut on it but i must be doing something wrong.
