Rotating Video Display orientation to Vertical

I am researching an XP embedded application which could prefer the video
display to be mounted with the long side vertical rather than horizontal.
Has anyone found an approach to such an issue?
Is this a video driver change? Is there such a driver in existence?
Thanks

As long as you use a video driver that has can rotate it will work just
like on XP Pro. The Intel 82855GME I'm currently using supports
rotation and I think some nVidia and ATI chips support it as well.

Mike,
This is very helpful. I am planning using an EPIC sized board for my
application - most of them use the Intel 855GME chipset.
BTW, do you have any experience with EPIC boards or other SBCs? I'm trying
to establish which processor I might need.
Thanks for responding.

I have tested some VIA EPIC boards with Eden processors but they were
too slow for my application which does a lot of video playback. The SBC
we are using now is a 5 1/4 inch board from E-Value and a 1.7GHz
Celeron M.

One thing to be aware of is that most SBCs are only tested to class A
for EMC/EMI and this can cause extra headaches if your end product
needs to pass class B.

It depends on what you want to do. One of the good things with XPe is
you can try things on XP Pro/Home and get a good gauge of how it will
work on XPe.
 
Dear sngilb,

If you want to rotate the screen, you have some solutions.

1. Write down the applications by yourself.
Some chipsets support standard API, and someone needs to be
implemented by its own API.

2. Use 3rd party tool, Ex. Pivot
