geeksRus · January 19th, 2004, 08:45 PM

Ctrl-Alt-Arrow Key(NOTE:duzn't work with all video cards)

craigmodius · January 19th, 2004, 08:53 PM

uuuuuhhhh... ummmm???.....

OK, I give up. I got an ATI Rage Fury Pro. Arrow Key? The ones by the number pad?

The keyboard is an IBM. It's black does that make a difference?

Oh, and I'm right handed too.

So Uh, what's it supposed to do?

geeksRus · January 19th, 2004, 09:14 PM

ctrl-alt-down arrow flips the display upside down...rite arrow rotates 90 degrees rite...etc.

craigmodius · January 19th, 2004, 10:01 PM

Ahhhh.

coooooooooolllllll

I'm gonna have to try that out on the machines at work.

Works not with my GF2 MX400 with 53.03 drivers.

Must be an ATI thing.

craigmodius · January 20th, 2004, 05:55 AM

maybe a *new* ATI thing.

'cuz this Rage Fury Pro doesn't do that.

must be it's a 'hotkey' thing?

And No, Adept, that's "hot key" not "Hockey"

So I guess you had the monitor laying on its side up until this point ???

Guts3d · August 9th, 2005, 06:10 AM

I think that it is specific monitors that allows this, not the video card. I could be wrong...
