Portrait mode #19

Closed timemaster5 closed 4 years ago

timemaster5 commented 4 years ago

Hi, first thanks for a nice job.

I wanted to ask if is possible to rotate the screen, i.e. set up an accelerated portrait mode.

display_rotate in config.txt is not what I am looking for, this will result in very poor performance of the whole stack. I would like to rotate the WPE browser instead.

Any suggestions?

This is related to https://github.com/TOLDOTECHNIK/buildroot-webkit/issues/7 What you can do is rotate the whole content of the page. Something like this: https://jsfiddle.net/egn80xh9/

Yeah, slightly related.

The correct way is to set the orientation for the accelerated layer. In the case of WPEWebkit, it should be somewhere in the configuration of WPEBackend-RDK or something similar.
