    My rotating screen Zaurus has screwed itself up (or maybe I did it
    :-). When I open it (landscape) it displays in portrait mode, then
    decides to rotate *part* of the screen to landscape. When I start an app
    it starts in portrait mode and works OK. But no way can I get back to
    using landscape mode.

    The following do not work:
    - reboot
    - the rotate menu option
    - an combination of opening and closing the lid, and physically rotating
    it.

    I have not done many changes to the system: I have not touched the ROM,
    I have just imported my data, and installed a few extra programs:
    mplayer, kino2, ltris, brickout...

    I have looked around the config files in /etc but can not find anything.
    /home/zaurus/Settings/display.conf looked promising but editing it
    seems to make no difference.

    Any suggestions ?
