Vertical monitor setup

[Dinkydau]

pinotnoir,

I just saw the picture of your gaming rig and I noticed that your two side monitors were set up vertically rather than horizontally. How do you configure Windows to utilize it in those positions? I've never seen a setting to change the layout of a monitor.

right click the desktop/properties/settings/advanced/<adaptor specific tab>

look for something that gives you a landscape or portrait option
(on nvdia.. GeForce / NVRotate / Portrait)

I found it. I have an Nvidia card and it was under the Nvidia Control Panel/Display/Rotate Display.

Thanks,

Johnny

I have a question related to this...

I'm considering switching to XP Pro 64-bit instead of Vista Ultimate 64 because of some issues when running wow on the second graphics card. When you span desktop and rotate, does the second and third monitor height have to match your main desktop height once rotated?

Nope, its just when you try to move your mouse back to the main monitor it might get stuck and have to move up just abit to get back to the main monitor

1440x900 --- 768x1024 My mouse pointer always get stuck on the bottom left edge of my vertical monitor when trying to move back to the main. Nothing big, just something you have to live with.
