Laptop screen inverting???

I am wondering if there is any program that will let me invert my laptop's lcd screen upside down. Before you think Im retarded let me explain.... I am an electrician on a nuclear powered submarine. Out sleeping space is fairly cramped, what I am trying to do is find a way to invert my screen so that I can strap my laptop to the rack above me, therefore I need the screen to be upside down to be able to do this. A friend of mine has a personal DVD player that can invert its screen; making it kind of a flip down screen. I figure if they can make a DVD player LCD screen do it, why not a laptop screen?

I recommend installing the latest video drivers for your graphics card, and then checking the advanced settings for a way to flip the screen to whatever angle.

I have a Ti-200 Geforce3 in my desktop, and if you go to Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > [find a tab related to your graphics card], there will probably be an option for this.


If I remember correctly, my bro had an option like this with his ATI card.


Hope that helps.

I'm downloading the latest driver for my M9 right now, I've seen some discussion about a rotate tab in the settings menu, maybe this is what I've been looking for.
Thanks

i know that my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 191t) came with software that could rotate the image. A lot of lcd monitors come with something to that effect so you can go to portrait mode.

I know with the Omega drivers there are the rotate options, but I do not think the ATI drivers have this.

j21blackjack,

I used to use the program Pivot Pro which you can find at http://us.portrait.com/ and it lets you rotate the screen in any direction, and you can set up hotkeys to do the rotating. I read on one of these threads that in the latest ATI Catalyst 3.2 drivers there's an option to rotate the screen, but there's at least 2 or 3 dozen drivers that can be selected, so it would be a matter of trying them out one after another to find it. I haven't found it yet myself!
