Rotated Monitor

[Meridian]

Hello All,

I am currently planning a new cockpit and it was my intention to use a monitor, rotated through ninety degrees, for one of the main dispays. However, I have recently tested this idea and have encountered a problem.

In my present set-up, I have a Matrox Triplehead (analogue) with three nineteen inch monitors for the outside view, and a single twenty inch monitor for the panel display. My normal routine is to start FS9 in windowed mode, undock the panel window and then move it to the single monitor. I then switch to full screen mode, finally adjust the panel window as necessary and all is set.
In order to try out the rotated monitor idea, I rotated the twenty inch monotor through ninety degrees and used the nvidia control panel to rotate the dispaly accordingly. So far, everything was looking pretty good. I then went through my normal start-up routine but when I switched to full screen mode, instead of the instrument panel there was a black rectangle.

I have tried to find a solution but, so far, have had no success. I'm beginning to suspect that I may be trying to do something that is not possible. Do I need to go back to the drawing board(well, CAD system)?

Regards to all

Thanks for the info , I can rotate but FSX does apply the correct resolution and when switching to full screen receive a monitor out of range message. Will work ok in windows even with in correct resolution...FSX does not list the correct resolution under display option. Trying to figure out how to get FSX to lis correct resolution.

Hello,

did anybody found a solution for this problem ? I think of using a rotated 17 inch monitor for the upper Eicas display.

For the start i want to put all instrument data from FSX directly to the monitors with a triple head to go digital. Later i will get additional computer to take care of the MFD etc,,,,,
