I got it as a temporary keyboard after I broke my normal keyboard by pouring cola into it :-)</p> Jay: heh, I love the comment about the keyboard :-) You’re spot on — I think I payed $10 for it… I got it as a temporary keyboard after I broke my normal keyboard by pouring cola into it :-)

You've got one of THE BEST, most Luxurious monitors on the market, the real "no expenses spared" deal. Then you've got it paired with a little crappy standard white keyboard that you probably got free somewhere, ROFL. That's like wearing a tuxedo while picking up your supermodel girlfriend, then getting on a rusty bicycle to go to dinner.</p> <p>And don't worry, I'm not laughing at you, but with you. Thanks for the article BTW, I'm about to get this monitor here and I'm very excited.</p> I love the pic.

I tried adding a <code>Option "rotate" "left"</code> line to my xorg.conf file, and it worked as advertised. It looks <em>very</em> weird when everything is flipped on such a big display :-)</p> Steven: it works! I tried adding a Option "rotate" "left" line to my xorg.conf file, and it worked as advertised.

I’m thinking about trying your Asus card but I wonder if xrandr will rotate the display 90 degrees.

Would you try an “xrandr -o left” and let us know if it works with the nvidia drivers? Thanks!

I found your monitor pic perfect for this job. It's not finished yet, but will be in a week or so.</p> Hi Martin,

Obviously, this involves removing the monitor from the desk. Then use the photo for your desktop. It really works well if you have an outlet, or window frame or something being covered by the monitor as it now shows up as if, at first glance, the monitor is not there. Also helps to remove desktop icons.</p> If you don’t mind a suggestion:
