I've made a copy of the script "/etc/init.d/x" called "xland" in which I
set
the orientation to landscape.
To switch , I use a script that runs " /etc/init.d/x stop ;
/etc/init.d/xland start"
to switch to landscape ,
and another one , doing "/etc/init.d/x stop ; /etc/init.d/x start" to
switch to portrait again.
(The "stop" part is still the same , so I ripped that out of
the xland script to save space)

I've made menu items for this too. Works well :-)

Only problem is , some of your environment variables get expanded
every time you do this , I don't remember exactly which ones.
I've changed this by changing the scripts to use some hardcoded stuff
for this. (I think LD_LIBRARY_PATH and another one ....)

Jaap.
