    I think it may have something to do with the .inf I put in with the display driver. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how to modify inf to get it to work. (i need instuctions in 'for dummies' style lol) thanks! BTW rotate works in my xp boot..but not the sound! lol...

    sorry to bump, still wondering if anyone can help. I know this in not a popular issue. running 177.41. maybe I should try 180.43 again. It made QW do orange screen but then so did 177 after a couple days.

    I don't know exactly how to modify the inf to get the screen to rotate, but I do know that the xfastest 177.85 drivers fixed my rotation problem on an 6860fx. All of laptopvideo2go drivers messed up the rotation on my laptop.

    edit: I'm starting to realise that every other post of mine is reccomending the xfastest driver. ^_^ But really, they had the best compatability ive seen with gateway fx laptops.
