Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 29

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
The C3000 and C3100 have a larger screen resolution (640x480) than the older models. Older
applications designed for those models by default start in portrait mode (because that is their
default mode). The C3000 and C3100 support both portrait and landscape mode. The clam shell
design detects when the screen is rotated and automatically re-adjusts the orientation. However, it
also detects that these older applications were build for portrait mode and also automatically
switches to portrait mode when those applications are run.
To change this behaviour, tab on the application icon and hold the stylus there for a few seconds
and a properties screen will appear. Untick the option "Display with magnified screen". (This needs
to be done for each application)
Alternatively you can add the following line to the appropriate .desktop file located under
/opt/QtPalmtop/apps
Display=640x480/144dpi,480x640/144dpi
Only applications that do not have Display=640x480/144dpi,480x640/144dpi in their desktop
file will show the Display with magnified screen option, however, if EnableForcedVGA in
/home/zaurus/Settings/Launcher.conf is set to 0, then this option will not be available. The value of
3 in /home/zaurus/Settings/display.conf also means that the application will run in 640x480 mode.
Run as root
By default, applications run as the zaurus user, however, some applications need to be run with
root priviledges.
