[syslinux] How to set a portrait mode screen using i915 driver?

[SCU Rock]

Yes, I only need horizontally scanned
portrait mode. Somehow "MENU RESOLUTION" does not work for me. Below is my
isolinux.cfg file. Anything wrong with it?


------------------------------------
default vesamenu.c32
timeout 2

*MENU RESOLUTION 480 640*
menu background boot.png
menu title boot VER
menu color border 0 #ffffffff #00000000
menu color sel 7 #ffffff00 #ff000000
menu color title 0 #ffffffff #00000000
menu color tabmsg 0 #ffffffff #00000000
menu color unsel 0 #ffffffff #00000000
menu color hotsel 0 #ffffff00 #ff000000
menu color hotkey 7 #ffffff00 #00000000

label live
menu label Live CD - ^Run
kernel /kernel
append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE quiet SRC= DATA= SDCARD=

If with portrait mode you mean a screen that scans vertically rather
than horizontally (as when taking an ordinary screen and rotating it),
no, that is not supported in the current version.

The arbitrary resolution can, however, support horizontally scanned
portrait mode, e.g. "MENU RESOLUTION 480 640".
