I've installed Xorg on my freebsd (10.1-RELEASE-p23) system which has dual Radeon HD 7700 cards in it and 4 monitors. Everything works well (so far) except that I can't get the monitors to rotate. In the logs I see the following: [ 50.431] (II) RADEON(0): Front buffer size: 5120K [ 50.431] (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 932043K [ 50.431] (==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled [ 50.431] (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled [ 50.431] (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled [ 50.431] (==) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled [ 50.431] (==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled [ 50.431] (II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message.

[ 50.432] (--) RandR disabled ... [ 3110.587] (EE) RADEON(0): Rotation requires acceleration! I believe this means that due to the hardware acceleration not functioning on the HD 7700 series yet (based on what I found at https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics), I'm not able to get screen rotation. Am I correct? Is this just something I have to wait for future development, or is there a workaround people are aware of? Thank you in advance for any help, Joseph Ward
