The landscape orientation targets a screen similar to that on a Handheld PC, which is 480 x 240 pixels or larger. The portrait orientation targets a screen similar to that on a Pocket PC screen, which is 240 x 320 pixels or larger. The default orientation is landscape. To use portrait orientation, set the variable SYSGEN_QVGAP.
