I have a portrait mode screen, which I like to web surf on. When I first boot I enter on console and "xrandr -o left" gets the screen in the correct mode. Can't figure out where I can enter the command so when I reboot it keeps it in the mode, is it under .jwm?

I see the folder Startup below the root (frugale HD install), but am not sure how to put the script in, since there is no "starup" file...

Code: Select all
echo 'xrandr -o left' >/root/Startup/xrandr.startup
chmod +x /root/Startup/xrandr.startup
and restart X server

works great, I understand these commands but without your help would've not been possible.
