[directfb-users] Can't get "layer-rotate:90" to work...

[Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci]

Hello all,
I have tried (with 1.3.2 and 1.4.17) to get the "layer-rotate" parameter
to work for a 90-degree rotation, but somehow, this doesn't seem to
work. I'm calling my program with

--dfb:layer-rotate=90,mode=1280x1024,depth=32,pixelformat=RGB32

using the uvesafb frame buffer. I have only a few graphics and text on
my display so I don't really need hw acceleration, plus I have three
different Mini-ITX boards in use here with three different Intel Atoms
(410, 525, and 2500).

Unfortunately, the "layer-rotate" parameter does not work here; I get

It this parameter working at all? If so, what am I doing wrong?

The program is written in C++ and uses DFB++, by the way. If you need
any further information, just ask.

Thanks in advance
