Some applets don't work in portrait mode, such as the display one and the themes one (it kicks the window into landscape mode). most of the ones I use do.



You need to have rootsh and wget installed.

Code:

root
wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/debfiles/portrait/hildon-control-panel/hildon-control-panel_2.2.27-2+0m5_armel.deb
dpkg -i hildon-control-panel_2.2.27-2+0m5_armel.deb

To pin the package:

Code:

echo "Package: hildon-control-panel
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

I really should make all these portrait patches into one thread...
