Hi all,

I am no deep IT guy especially on linux. But is there a way to change the code/kernel or what ever it is to have a native portrait mode on N900. How much of programing would it tearetically require?

I know that N97 is symbian, but if try to do se same I mean about the screen rotation. Tell the os where to place the icons after rotation, how to behave.

Or even an app that would do that. I do not mind having a running task as long I can have what I want.

So my question is. IS THAT POSSIBLE IN ANY WAY?

Flawless comprehensive portrait is not possible. Only application based portrait.
PR1.2 introduced ctrl-shift-r shortcut. which rotates most things into portrait, but not 100%.

Yes. it seems that it would require a great deal of re-writing of major components of Maemo 5, so it was decided to be escalated to later releases of the OS such as Meego.
