Might be waiting a while on that one

The orientation thing on the other hand: I had a look on my PW4 and was able to replicate your post from last year showing that the browser ignores the orientation when set using lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock.

You can force the orientation by making this change to /var/local/mesquite/browser/javascripts/browser.js:

diff --git a/javascripts/browser.js b/javascripts/browser.js
index 50b51fb..6215a3f 100755

         }
         else {
             // save settings

The other orientation options are:

enums.orientations = {
        auto: 'auto',
        portrait: 'portrait',
        portraitUp: 'portraitUp',
        portraitDown: 'portraitDown',
        landscape: 'landscape',
        landscapeLeft: 'landscapeLeft',
        landscapeRight: 'landscapeRight'
