Just purchased 2 Samsung 204T Monitors. Have a G4 dual 1ghz w/ ATI 9000 card. I normally run in OS 9 as I have never upgraded all my graphics programs (I know, I Know, I'm a trog)
Want to run dual rotating monitors, preferably in OS9, but I will boot in OSX if I have to and upgrade my software.
Samsungs proprietary "Magic Tilt" software does not support the Mac.
I have heard that some video cards have this support, I have heard that OS 10.4 has the rotation support built in.
I am also willing to return the Samsungs for a different brand if neccessary.
Any suggestions? Anyone? I really need the Tilt

eeeyike!!!
I am running 10.2.8 on the G4. I walked the monitor over to a G5 running 10.4.7 and it didn't work there either.
What video card are you running SSharon ?

I believe only Apple-supplied ATI graphics processors support rotation via the OS X Displays system preference pane, and retail-boxed ATI graphics cards support rotation if you install the ATI Displays software.
Not sure if the Apple/nVidia graphics subsystems support display rotation.

Same as you, well I think the same, the 64mb stock radeon 9000 pro that came with my MDD (in sig). I just realized you may have a quicksilver and that may be a slightly different card.

With Tiger, if the ATI card supports rotation, the Displays preference pane will offer the option for external displays. It doesn't matter whether the card is Apple-supplied or not. Similarly, recent versions of the ATI Displays driver software from ATI works with both Apple-supplied and aftermarket ATI cards and GPUs.
nVidia cards do not support rotation on Macs, period.
I do not know whether Macs with Intel integrated graphics support rotation.
