Flip the display on my aspire one?

I have a mythbuntu setup in my house and would like to use my aspireone as a front end in the kitchen sometimes. I run ubuntu 9.10 and am happy with the way the device works but i havent been able to find a way to flip the screen.

My plan is to mount the netbook under some of the kitchen cabinets so the screen flips down to show myth when in use. Is there a way i can flip the image on my aspireone so that a flip down setup works?

Thanks

 

That can be done very easy. Use the tool xrandr. This allows rotation of screen. You can apply the xrandr command to one of your hot-keys.

Code:

xrandr -o inverted

flips the screen

Code:

xrandr -o normal

brings it back to normal


There is also a gui for xrandr, grandr for Ubuntu or krandr for Kubuntu.

great thanks, i will give it a try.

 

or even easier. if you're using ubuntu, open the "Display" control panel (System>Preferences>Display) and select Rotation: Upside Down.
