[X4U] Re: Portrait mode in Tiger

[Neil]

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 don¹t have to scroll
so much, but I don¹t see any such option in my preferences.
