Start KRandRTray or gnome-display-properties from the main menu, or enter
krandrtray or gnome-display-properties to start the applet from a shell.
After you have started the applet, the applet icon is usually added to your system tray.
If the gnome-display-properties icon does not automatically appear in the system tray,
make sure Show Displays in Panel is activated in the Monitor Resolution Settings dialog.
To rotate your display with KRandRTray, right-click the icon and select Congure
Display. Select the desired orientation from the conguration dialog.
To rotate your display with gnome-display-properties, right-click the icon and select
the desired orientation. Your display is immediately tilted to the new direction. The
orientation of the graphics tablet changes also, so it can still interpret the movement of
the pen correctly.
If you have problems changing the orientation of your desktop, refer to Section 26.7,
“Troubleshooting” (page 476) for more information.
26.5 Using Gesture Recognition
openSUSE includes both CellWriter and xstroke for gesture recognition. Both applica-
tions accept gestures executed with the pen or other pointing devices as input for appli-
cations on the X Window System.
26.5.1 Using CellWriter
With CellWriter, you can write characters into a grid of cells—the writing is instantly
recognized on a character basis. After you have nished writing, you can send the input
to the currently focused application. Before you can use CellWriter for gesture recogni-
tion, the application needs to be trained to recognize your handwriting: You need to
train each character of a certain map of keys (untrained characters are not activated and
thus cannot be used).
Procedure 26.1:
Training CellWriter
1
Start CellWriter from the main menu or with cellwriter from the command line.
On the rst start, CellWriter automatically starts in the training mode. In training
mode it shows a set of characters of the currently chosen key map.
