Hi: In the old days, monitor companies used to offer very expensive (but monochrome) portrait-mode monitors for use with DTP (Desktop Publishing). I never had one, but I did lust after them. Sound familiar?
It had never occurred to me that someone would want this so badly as to give up normal control of the keyboard, but, hey, why not? Following up an earlier thread suggestion here I was able to get ATI Catalyst Control Center version 2007.1205.1451.26462 working on my old X32, even though an error message comes up every time I boot up. With this software, there is no option to rotate the X32's screen, but I have rotated the external screen so that it shows a full page at 1080 x 1920--very nice vertical viewing. One side effect seems to be sporadic failure of the X32's screen to blank itself on the timer. Running a video in VLC will always produce this behaviour, but so, occasionally, do other actions. > >I'd like to read books & comics on my t40 but with the >desktop display rotated for better viewing.
