I suspect that my English comprehension skills are on the wane; I
distinctly remember and the original post confirms that the FOSSil who
started this thread wanted information about a stand that accomodate
an LCD display in portrait mode.

But fist part of this thread concenterated on changing the FOSSil's
style fo working, and now these post are about s/w which do tiat. 

What about the original question:-

<quote>

Anyone know of a decent stand that will allow me to rotate a monitor
90 degrees?  Any recommendations on high-res (1600x1200 or greater)
21" monitors?

I should admit that the question had me confounded; I was thinking
this could be done easily in s/w, X, ever since Xorg became standard
in all distros, is capable of doing the rotation at the click of
mouse. So, either the Old Monk does not know (or has not learnt the
new mantras aka Xorg conf; something understandable); or the list has
not understood his question (more likely, IMHO).
