#1667 closed defect (fixed)

screen rotate remaps keys regardless of availability of X rotate support

Reported by: quozl Owned by: dsd
Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer Milestone:
Component: Sugar Version: 0.84.x
Severity: Minor Keywords: r+
Cc: unmadindu Distribution/OS: OLPC
Bug Status: Unconfirmed

Description

Some X servers do not have rotate support. This causes non-zero exit from xrandr started by keyhandler.py. The code in 0.84 calls xmodmap regardless. This results in user confusion as keys do not do what they should.

A patch is to be attached.

Current code in HEAD does not have rotate support, so this ticket is only relevant to 0.84 maintenance.
