Is there a way to change the orientation of the login screen?

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

From my notes:

Rotate gdm login screen:
Login as an ordinary user. From the menu, select "Applications"->"System Tools"->"Settings"->"Displays". In this display settings tool, configure the proper rotation. This creates a monitor settings file in $HOME/.config/monitors.xml. Log out and login again to test the configuration.

Copy the .config/monitors.xml to the gdm configuration.:

Code: Select all

sudo cp $HOME/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml
Rotate text in the console:
To rotate the frame buffer display that is used for the console, add the option fbcon=rotate:3 (for rotate
90o left) or fbcon=rotate:1 (for rotate 90o right) to the kernel command line.
