Change Monitor Resolution?

[heylookitsjerry]

So I have a Planar PX171m. Some of you may know that this monitor can turn so that the screen will look like a standard sheet of paper.

I was just wondering how I can get the resolution to be 1024x1280 instead of the regular 1280x1024? I have a Radeon 9800 Pro with the control panel. THanks for all the input!

After having a quick look at the PDF manual it would seem you need to install the "pivot software" which I'm guessing was included with the monitor.

Agreed..my Samsung 213T can also pivot but it DOES need the pivot software that came with it. If, by chance, you lost the Pivot software disk, I'm sure your manufacfturer's website should provide it.

THanks for the response guys! I'll look into it.

I heard rumors that the newest ATI drivers support pivotting. You guys know if its true?

AFAIK, they've been doing it a while now. You go into advanced properties and you can rotate the screen. But it obviously only works on screens that support it.

Catalyst drivers support display rotate on "any" display, but a big CRT looks funny laying on its side.
