After all that I find that I have to redo the bracket as the display only allows one orientation, quickly fixed with a screwdriver..

You need to enable rotation in your xorg.conf file. AFAIK, this is not done automatically: Section "Device" Identifier "Device[0]" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVidia" BoardName "GeForce 6200 (0x0221)" Option "RandRRotation" EndSection Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do not remmber whether this graphical tool has a setting for scrren rotation. However I am sure, that the generic texttool "nvidia-xconfig" has one. see man "nvidia-xconfig" hth Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If not, the Nvidia drivers are not ionstalled, if yes, you most probably do not have the nvidia drivers installed. Then proceed from there. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
