nVidia will not rotate monitor
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:42 pm
I've been told that nVidia should be able to rotate my monitor if I'm using Xinerama. However, this does not appear to be the case. One interesting thing is that I can no longer open the "Screen Resolution" tool that Linux Mint provides. Right now, both monitors are VGA. I can move to both monitors being DVI if need be. If you can offer any suggestions as to how I can rotate the monitor on the right (the 24in monitor), that would be great. This is the greatest hold up keeping me on Vista at the moment. xorg.conf provided below. Thanks!
