Does Tiger support rotating a second monitor (I'm thinking of the Lacie 20" LCD) to the vertical position? If so, will simply rotating the monitor activate the vertical orientation of the OS and all applications? If Tiger does not do this natively, is there any way to achieve it?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think "Tiger OS" will have support for some rotating displays. It's all about the drivers for the graphics cards. IIRC, some ATI and NVIDIA cards will be enabled. Don't count on it for lower end machines.
Anyone who knows details ?

As far as I know it works with all Dell displays and apple computers made in 2004 and later.

The display has nothing to do with it. The graphics card is the only important component.

I've read somewhere that you have to hold down Ctrl-Option-Apple when opening Displays pref pane. Then it will show the option to rotate.

Shows up on my Mac Mini 1.42 with Samsung 191T 19" LCD. (The LCD itself tilts to make use of this feature). No key combo required to show the option in preferences.

Jon L. Dawson, are you in Tiger? I have a Dell Rotating LCD and have not seen any options in the Display prefs in 10.3 for it.

Yes I am in Tiger, I thought that was the question.. if it worked in Tiger...  I'm almost positive it wasn't there before the upgrade.

Any one have a list of what machines (graphics cards) it is compatible with? I have a G5 iMac.
I am picking up Tiger tonight at the London Apple store but would love to know now and see if I need to get a pivoting VESA desk mount for it!

I'm using my Dell 2005FPW in "Tall" mode now. Interesting.
It does work. Wow ... it's REALLY tall.
