Comment on TIL - Linux supports tilted monitors... apparently 22° is best

  How fine is the resolution of the tilt? I wonder how long it would take to figure out that your display was tilted by 1 degree or less.

    Very fine, as long as the computer uses X (the good less shitty one). xrandr can use a matrix to transform the entire output, so you can scale, rotate, move, or shear it as much as you’re evil.

      Wayland devs, wake up and implement the features we truly need!

        The biggest hurdle is getting shit past the GNOME developers. Wayland could implement a protocol that cures leukemia, and they’d still raise a stink about use-cases because it doesn’t touch other types of cancer.

        Technically that’s compositor level stuff, and it probably can even treat it like an actual diagonal display and prevent windows from going there and everything.

        This is a good example of why some of the protocols are taking so long. Once finalized, it’ll probably somehow also be capable of handling… that.

        With an accelerometer and a compositor written for that can probably even keep it level in real time. Tilt monitor and windows rotate to match automatically.

        They’ll end up spending more time arguing about it than implementing it

      Yeah but, will antialiasing be noticeable?

    I actually think I’d notice quite quickly as all horizontal and vertical lines would be slightly jagged.

      Don’t you run with at least 8xAA in the desktop??

  it always used to be using the windows command to rotate the screen, this will just add a new layer of confusion.

  …or if they are using linux it will probably be seen as a good challenge

    Windows command to rotate the screen, screenshot the desktop, set it as wallpaper, hide the icons & start bar… Functionally reversed mouse, and can’t click anything.
