The documentation says this :

"Dynamic screen configuration

Several drivers, including ones for ATI, nVidia, and Intel graphics 
chips now support the X Resize and Rotate Extension (xrandr). This 
enables dynamic monitor detection, and resizing and rotating of video 
output, for no-fuss support for projectors and external monitors. "

However, when I rotate the screen, nothing happens - and the Graphical 
configuration tool for X doesn't have anything for it.

How can I get dynamic rotation in Gutsy - has anybody done it?

Thanks,
Loïc
