Yes. 51-3 is same as 50-2 (except bootloader).

If you don't know, ignore them. The guide you quoted should work.

/home/user # apt-get install screen
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  osso-software-version: Depends: xserver-xomap (= 1:1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202) but 1:1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202-randr01 is to be installed
  screen: Depends: libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
It is same problem like here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16244. Anyone can verify it is not just me?

Hacking /var/lib/dpkg/status by hand solves the problem for me but if someone verifies the problem too, it needs fixing and reinstallation of xserver package.

Now it showed up for me; I had updated some software that did not have the explicit dependency problem, but openssh and camera need it. Not just you

, but I put lies in /var/lib/dpkg/status and it works.

Can't you just edit control file of rotation xomap deb to original name and "update" on the device?

Or just unpack to root. I did that with Xournal without installing Ghostscript.

You can do the same directly in /var/lib/dpkg/status. Basically it is merge of all control files installed on the system so you are doing the same thing but no deb re-packing and reinstall is needed.

Ok thanks, I will edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and change it back to old name. But if an update to this xserver gets released, it's gonna be fun

When talking about it, maybe far easier for most people is to reinstall with fixed xserver package on jott's page http://sse2.net/rotate/

Well, that's nice. Think this is about ready for wikification? I'm thinking to go start a wiki page on it now. The install is pretty straightforward now; but it looks like there are three (reasonably friendly) ways of controlling it: jott's applet; Faheem's enhanced version, and cli via powerlaunch.

Not using an applet, I don't know... Faheem, is there any advantage to using the original applet, or is yours completely a superset?

And my way (BTW, the script on my tablet now has a 180 option as well; turns out that (unless you force a "standard" rotation on entry to powerlaunch) you really want to use cw, ccw, and 180 commands from powerlaunch... Duh. Update coming in prior posts.) is somewhat complex and highly config dependent; you guys think it should just be left out, and the people advanced enough to be using powerlaunch will figure it out anyway?

With the code above in effect, resolution is changed to 800,120 which is not ideal :-)

fanoush, sorry, does this mean that the kernel that fixes the problem with media player/canola2/gtalk also reduces the resolution on all video to 800x120? If yes, and since mplayer is working fine, I might elect not to go with the new kernel.

Of course, I might have just misunderstood what you said the changes were..
