Marcelo has just released an experimental video of Canola2 on portrait mode using a port of Xrandr, with the help of the Mamona Project team. INdT is asking for feedback. Let them know how important this feature is for you by replying on this article.
Read the full article.

Hang on a mo

Basically the article is saying that Canola's theme engine works well enough to know when it's running in portrait mode or not and displays perfectly either way.

So there's nothing to be released other than xrandr.

afaik the xrandr extension on manoma was a source patch to kdrive? So presumably what needs to be released is not only xrandr command line tool, but kdrive itself? Can this be packaged up nicely enough to be installable by the regular users out there?

Marcelo: The feature is great please add support for it directly to Canola.

Looks like a great start, I'm sure this will be a welcome addition for many people.

What I don't like is how it displays the Album Cover view....

Somebody had compiled Rotation Support for OS2008. Looks like you needed a special kernel as well as a modified Xomap. I haven't tried it, but it certainly looks promising.

The nice thing about portrait mode is obviously one handed support a feature that the IT is severely lacking. Release it as well as the plug-ins !
