Interesting. :o
One question can is it possible to run programs before launching an emulator using glaunch?
DaOld Man:
Im not sure I understand your question, but this program will run instead of glaunch. Once the program has setup Glaunch for proper rotation, it starts Glaunch.
I am also implementing this idea in my "the launcher", which should work with just about any 'rotatable on start up' front end. (already tested with Glaunch and mala.)
I am also building into the launcher a function that when you exit to turn off the machine, it will kill the monitor so that all the windows shut down crap is not displayed.
This will require a relay connected to a pin on the printer port. The relay breaks the power going to the monitor.
If you are asking if it is possible to rotate the monitor (using a motor setup), before running a game in glaunch, i'm working on that too.

i downloaded circo's movies the other day, mala plays them just fine...however they seem to cause everything to be slow. selecting games, bringing up the mala menu..everything is just sluggish when video previews are running. so even though i spent the best part of 2 days downloading that pack of videos (torrents suck), i am not going to use them anyway because of the diminished performance. maybe it is just MALA, i don't know..but i have yet to find a front end that works as well as mala and is as easy to configure.

Hmm... yours chugs now? I just got my movies last night and Mala runs just as fast as it did with still pictures... I actually still have the video stacked on top of the stills, both changing at the same time, and it runs fine. I'm not good enough yet to offer suggestions though... but hopefully there's some setting that can be messed with to get your speed back.
