[nzlug] Rotating monitors

[Vik Olliver]

Here's a good 'un.

I've got an Nvidia Ubuntu box with twinview and two nice, big LCD
monitors running off a graphics card that looks like it has a cylinder
head off a motorbike on it. Works fine.

But I want to dick with it.

I've noticed that I would benefit from a taller, less wide monitor
configuration, and lo my monitor mounts will tilt the screen sideways. I
caught the guys doing this to them when I "wasn't looking"...

So, I hear about the xorg.conf "rotate" option in the "Display" section,
and being game I try it out. It rotates both screens, yes. But it is
only useful if I then stack those rotated screens on top of one another.

What I wanna do is rotate the left screen through 90 degrees, then
rotate the right screen through 90 degrees. If you see what I mean.

Can't find anything encouraging on Google.

Any ideas?

Vik :v)
