<FONT FACE="Verdana">My video card is the GeForce FX 5200 and I have a Dell Ultrasharp 2005 display that actually has a pivot built into the stand. There are times when I would love to have a vertical display so that I don’t have to scroll so much, but I don’t see any such option in my preferences. <BR>

Poking through the System Preferences showed the option to rotate the display, so I did it and was able to use my iBook G4 1.25 Ghz on it's side as a portrait display!<BR>

However, the option to return it back to landscape was gone! I couldn't find the pref again at all, so i actually had to reinstal Tiger. This time, the option never even showed up.<BR>

So it looks like the built-in vide on the iBook G4 1.25 Ghz *IS* capable of doing portrait display, but it has to be enabled in software. I wish I could get it to work again, if only to play with it: the LCD appears to be tailored with viewing angles in the horizontal vs vertical, so it was hard to see the display clearly when it was in portrait mode.<BR>
