Daft question: would it be possible to attach an accelerometer (edit: or gyroscope) to the monitor and connect it to a script to update the display angle on the fly?
- AdrianB1 3y agoYes. Linus personally added the driver in the next release of the kernel.
- from-nibly 3y agoYes but swapping the angle is not an instant action. In fact it has a huge black screen flash and takes like 10 or so seconds.
- wiml 3y agoI've wondered why that is. Both Linux and MacOS take several seconds to change low level screen parameters like this. It made some sense in the age of CRTs, but today I struggle to understand why it takes more than 50ms. What is it doing during all that time??
- eternityforest 3y agoI'm guessing It's stopping and reloading services that don't have any support for for runtime changes
- seba_dos1 3y agoYou could easily have instant and smooth rotation like that in a Wayland compositor.
