Acer Aspire One D250 need help?

Thread Starter 
The current video bios on the emachines em250 has screen rotation disabled. The emachines em250 is a clone of the acer d250. Anyone know if any of the acer machines allow screen rotation? Tempted to try a bios upgrade. Suggestions/ideas?

btw, the emachines technical support was horrible, rude, and kept referring me to their pay support service rather than offering any help at all.

Thanks,
camgee

Bios

Ok upon further searching I'm fairly confident that the bios of the Acer and the Emachines is compatible now if i just knew if any of the previous acer bios versions enable screen rotation. Any suggestions on finding out if any of them do? Any one with Aspire's with older bios updates that can test for me?

Acer Aspire One D250 need help?

does anyone have an acer aspire one d250 that can test to see if the screen will rotate and if it does can you find out and let me know what version of the bios you are using. The most recent one appears to have this feature turned off in the video bios. I'm wondering if previous versions had this enabled.

Thanks,
camgee

I have tested it and verify that it does work on the D250/EM250. Hope this helps you.

Also have a AAO-150 that rotates natively via "Ctrl+Alt +" up or down arrows.

If it already works for XP and Fedora, what is it exactly that you are searching for?

cheers ...
