<p>X.Org version X11R6.8.1 contains support for the rotation
component of the XRandR extension, which allows screens to be
rotated at 90 degree increments.</p>
<p>The driver supports rotation with the extension when 'Option
"RandRRotation"' is enabled in the X config file.</p>
<p>Workstation RGB or CI overlay visuals will function at lower
performance and the video overlay will not be available when
RandRRotation is enabled.</p>
<p>You can query the available rotations using the 'xrandr' command
line interface to the RandR extension by running:</p>
<pre class="screen">
xrandr -q
</pre>
<p>You can set the rotation orientation of the screen by running
any of:</p>
<pre class="screen">
xrandr -o left
xrandr -o right
xrandr -o inverted
xrandr -o normal
</pre>
<p>Rotation may also be set through the nvidia-settings
configuration utility in the "Rotation Settings" panel.</p>
<p>SLI and rotation are incompatible. Rotation will be disabled
when SLI is enabled.</p>
<p>TwinView and rotation can be used together, but rotation affects
the entire desktop. This means that the same rotation setting will
apply to both display devices in a TwinView pair. Note also that
the <code class="computeroutput">TwinViewOrientation</code> option
applies before rotation does. For example, if you have two screens
side-by-side and you want to rotate them, you should set
<code class="computeroutput">TwinViewOrientation</code> to
<code class="computeroutput">Above</code> or <code class=
"computeroutput">Below</code>.</p>
