Screen rotation problem

[evanhorn]

I am trying to read some pdf documents in portrait mode using PDFXchangeViewer (rotating the screen 90 degrees); however this the bottom portion of the screen is not used. This is the case for all applications I have tried to run with Wine (see attached screenshot for notepad). None of the native Linux applications have this problem. Has anyone else seen this and is there a workaround?

I have an HP Envy x360 with an Intel running Ubuntu 16.04 with the distro Wine installation. If it helps, I am using

Code: Select all

xrandr --output eDP-1 --rotate left

for the screen rotation and

Code: Select all

xinput set-prop "Virtual core XTEST pointer" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1

to map the touchscreen inputs (as well as touchpad and digital pen inputs).

Can't seem to find the "attached screenshot".

Absolutely no experience with rotating screen, but does it not just kinda change the resolution after rotation in xrandr? Ie a 1920x1080 display = 1080x1920? If so.. would a wine virtual desktop of 1080x1920 work? Or perhaps 2160x3840 in a 4K setting..

Just tossing out an idea

Oops, original screenshot was too large.

Yes, I could probably manually set the resolution, but WINE is doing this automatically for the width. It just isn't doing it for the height. It seems that it would resize both the same way.

What's the full output from:

Code: Select all

xrandr

??

Wine is being dumb and trying to draw a notepad Window 1920x1080 which is then being truncated to 1080x1080.
The xrandr handling code in Wine is not very sophisticated in my experience.
