I'm following this issue, but unfortunately have no expertise.

I'm running a chess program called Scid in debian. It's primarily for storing and looking at chess games, not playing. On the N900, Scid can create a much larger chessboard if it is rotated -- I verified this with xrandr -o left.

The mouse cursor is pretty much out of control. Does anyone know how to enter the equivalent of commands like Alt-o ? I'm sure this has been discussed at great length somewhere, but I haven't looked for it yet.

i hope those who can help will help u.
too bad i am not coz i am just a user.
and i am not expecting some fancy effect like someone mentioned.
just a usable portrait mode is already thankful enough.

i have a question though.
when we go to the multitasking screen, portrait apps always get changed into landscape. i wonder is there a way to stop this?
Reason is to avoid processing for changing mode.
