Rotating Screen Resolution

I am looking to rotate the screen orientation so that it is easier for
me to read documents. However, I do not see the option to do so.

I am using a ATI HD 4350 and NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500. The screen
orientation option works for the ATI no problem, but it is my third
screen that is on the NVIDIA that I want to rotate.

Is the problem due to the fact that I am running two different
manufacturer's cards? Or because the FX 5500 is too old?

All monitors are connected via DVI or HDMI. I've updated the drivers
from the latest on each respective manufacturer's website.

Thanks!

It depends on the driver AFAIK. If the driver doesn't have this feature
and you have the latest driver, you are just out of luck.

No, it's not two manufacturers. Doing so is a feature of the video
card (*some* video cards). Either your NVIDEA doesn't have that
feature, or you don't know how to use it.

Alright, thanks. Just wanted to confirm this. I'm thinking the card and
drivers are too old to support this as well.
