How to rotate Mac OS X Display?
pupuweb Blog Daily News
on a MacBook Pro or iMac, by accessing a hidden pull-down menu within
the Display preferences.
Here’s how to access the screen rotation option in Mac OS X:
1. Launch System Preferences
2. Hold down the Command+Option keys and click on the “Display” icon
3. On the right side of the Display preferences, look for the newly
visible ‘Rotation’ drop down menu
4. Set the rotation you want, 180° flips the screen vertically
5. Close Display preferences to have the settings stay
If you flip the screen vertically, you’ll notice that the mouse is
flipped as well, this is pretty confusing at first and it definitely
makes for a good prank to play on someone. Of course the real reason
to rotate the Mac screen is to accommodate for different display
setups, although rotating the internal display is a bit of an oddity
which is likely why the setting to do so is hidden by default.

Make a _really big_ portrait display using a 27" display on it's side
using a VESA mount? :-D

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

If you're going to post hints & tips you must qualify the system

[Was that supposed to be your sig? *grin*]
It could also be your monitor, or the connection by which your monitor
is attached to your computer, doesn't support it.

Your sig delimiter is broken. And how exactly did rotating your display
fail for you?

I have a 2007 MBP running OS X 10.6.5. On my system it only works the
first time I open System Preferences and cmd-opt-click on display. If I
click show all and try it again it doesn't work. That might be your
problem. It is just a new one line dropdown and easy to miss.

I don't get a 'Rotation' drop-down menu at all.
My guess is that it doesn't work because it needs an OSX version greater
than 10.2.8 (which is what I'm running) on a G4 DP MDD with a NEC 1700NX LCD
monitor via DVI interface.
My point is that if the OSX system minimum requirements had been stated by
the OP I would not have wasted my time trying it :-(
Jamie Kahn Genet
A sig delimiter is "-- ", not "--". As for display rotation not working
as laid out in the OP's post in 10.2.8, well, surely that's no surprise?
You're very out of date with your OS :-) I wouldn't bother saying a tip
or trick doesn't work on anything less than 10.5, either.

My sig delimiter is provided by Unison. I note that in another usenet
group users frequently quote my sig file. They are invariably Google
Groups users. Perhaps they are copying and pasting, or perhaps GGroups
snatches all?

Of course the answer is that Google Groups includes all text in the
reply. Google is doing all it can to help ruin Usenet.

You could make the same argument for eating humans.
