Is there a setting or command to make all outputted video from my ati 9800pro to be vertically flipped? using ubuntu, mythtv, vlc...

doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult... it's not in winxp

I've not done this yet ... but i'm interested as to why you'd want to do this ? ... have you rotated a plasma to be vertical ? ... Why would you want to display TV content this way ?

I have an optoma dv10 projector, that is traditionally designed to be placed table/floor level only. It does not have the ability to flip vertically. However, I intend to flip it vertically and mount it either from the wall or ceiling.

I know I can do this easily within winxp, but... how do I do this in linux?

Why wouldn't you just use the projector ? ... and flip the image using the projector's built in ceiling mode ?

It does not have the ability to flip vertically.

see above.

you can do it with the following line in your device section:

Option "Reflect" "XY"

but I'm not positive it will work with video. RandR might work though.

what do you mean with video? as in video overlay? I'll be using a dvi-hdtv/component dongle so it should act similiar to a regular display.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure hardware acceleration is disabled when you use the Reflect or Rotate option. I would look into the RandR stuff.
