    Hi,

    I'm using a Toughbook Y7 which has the GMA3100 graphics card. I'm trying to use an external monitor with this notebook in portrait mode (1200 by 1600). Anyone know how to rotate the image from landscape to portrait? I can't find this option under graphics properties. Thanks in advance.

    You can't do that as it, as I do believe that that is a video card limitation. you could buy a 1600x1200 monitor that can be flipped sideways and rotate the screen using the utility. You will still be at 1600x1200, but esentially you would be at 1200x1600 because you physically rotated the screen. Thats the best I got for ya :)
