Configure Screen Rotation RaspberryPI

By David Hill on April 14, 2016 in RISC OS

I have been playing with my Raspberry PI quite a lot lately, but one annoyance is that with some of the Operating Systems you can run on it, you cant change the screen rotation. I use my Raspberry PI on a Dell Monitor that I have rotated 90 degrees. Most of the time this monitor is used for producing documents on it, hence the rotation, but its a nice monitor with lots of inputs, so its great to use with the Raspberry PI. Unfortunatly the OS I run (RISC OS 5) doesn’t support screen rotation natively. However the Raspberry PI output can be rotated quite easily by simply telling the GPU to rotate the output. You do this by editing one of the files in the root of the SD Card, config.txt. Depending on which Operating System your running on your Raspberry PI will depend on how simple or complex […]

Raspberry Pi running VMware View client

By admin on July 4, 2012 in General, VMware Posts

This is pretty cool. Looking through the internet at stuff I can do with my Raspberry Pi (apart from running RISC OS natively) I was interested to see if anyone had begun running a VMware View client on it. The Raspberry PI costs £25 so makes a perfect Thin Client. The video below shows the Pi running the View client nicely. All credits go to the author (not sure of his name) you can visit his blogsite here. He needs help working on thin clients for the Raspberry Pi if anyone has some free time. Further information on the Raspberry Pi can be found here:
