jott made a great effort to make it so but, unfortunately, without wider infrastructure changes it's not really possible.

Basically your options are going to come down to Mer or Fremantle for "easy".

Thanks. That's a little worrisome as Merriam-Webster's first definition of "deprecate" is to pray against as an evil. I think that's just going too far.

OK, here's a newbie question: Looking at http://wiki.maemo.org/Rotation#N800, it appears to me that I have to manually type all of the following into X-term [and then press Enter]:

maemo-mini-curl -o kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb http://outpo.st/rotate/kernel-diablo...onfast_all.deb
maemo-mini-curl -o xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20083801rotation_armel.deb http://outpo.st/rotate/xserver-xomap...tion_armel.deb
dpkg -i kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20083801rotation

I hope, and suspect, I'm misunderstanding. What's it trying to tell me?

Or copy'n'paste it over ssh.

Shouldn't there be something on the front page of the iTT wiki saying that it's been deprecated? (I just went to the page there for which I bear most the responsibility and inelegantly prefaced it with advice about a later, better solution.)

Déjà vu all over again.

Feel free to place one there, I'd kinda been leaving that up to Reggie myself, though.

This site provides pretty simple instructions that work for me.

I never knew about the wiki entry & the advanced brightness app. I like it!

Thanks again.

Hmm. I've tried implementing screen rotation, and I've used both

http://wiki.maemo.org/Rotation

and

http://sse2.net/rotate/

In both, all the commands seem to go through Xterm without any problems. (At one point I did get an installation error, but I did the same process again and it went through.) But when I go to Panels in the Control Panels, there is nothing new there, and my status bar looks the same, too. In other words, it seems that Nothing Changed, and I have no way to rotate the display.

I have no idea where anything I did with those two methods had an effect or was downloaded. Looking (in blue pill mode) at the Installed Apps, it doesn't seem like there is anything new there, either.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Do you have Advanced Backlight installed?

No, I don't. Is it that it would have been a problem, or is that a prerequisite?
