Widescreen gone vertical!

Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:00 PM

Been under the weather lately, I think it's allergies and NOT the bird flu, but I have had SOME flu-like symptoms. So i'll keep you all posted, that is if I'm alive and/or not hospitalized cause of the bird flu.A shoutout to Christian for getting me hooked on Monster, and my LCD so that it's turned vertical!If you want to make your LCD go vertical, and lucky enough to have a nvidia graphics card, and running Linux. Just add this line to your "Driver" section of your xorg.conf or XF86Config file(s).

Option "RandRRotation" "on"
For those of you that run windows (may God have mercy on your soul, well maybe not that dramatic...), I believe that Dell supplies a cd with drivers that allow for this kind of usage. But I've never used them. Anyways, restart X. Then in your terminal type the following.
xrandr -o left
Happy Hacking vertical style!
