Not sure I could ever live with that - anyone able to test if multi monitors works?

    You know how when your coworker leaves their desk and forgets to lock their computer, you change their desktop wallpaper to Oompa Loompas or whatever?

    This is the new that.

      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.

            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.

              Doesn’t need a protocol, just compositor support. Unless you want windows to be aware of being rendered at an angle, that is.

              Also I do wonder how broken that stuff is under X as the WM protocols that I remember definitely assumed axis-aligned monitor and windows.

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

            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.

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

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