Rotate the display, independant of the video card driver?

[Guest Homer J. Simpson]

Hi all,

 

I realize that display rotation is typically a function of the video card

driver, but I'm wondering if there's any software solution that can do that

independantly of the card...

 

I understand that it would probably be *way* slower than a native driver,

but I could live with that--the rotated monitor would typically only be

needed to display the content of a couple of windows from Visual Studio

(there's a couple of windows that could use all the vertical space they can

get), so even something with a slow refresh would be perfectly acceptable.

Awesome. Thanks.

 

While investigating whether PowerStrip had the capability, I stumbled upon

iRotate (http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/irotate.shtm), made by the same

guys. It's free, and better yet, it works under XP x64.

 

I should've dug deeper into this months ago... :-)
