Extended display setup : T42 + 2877 + Dell LCD

#1 Post by lexicon » Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:56 am

I have T42 15" SXGA+ attached to Docking Station II 2877-10U, and recently I purchased used Dell 2007WFP capable at native resolution 1680 x 1050. I plugged in via DVI port on the back of Dock II, set Windows to extend desktop, it worked perfectly with each own native resolutions.
I use WinXP SP2, without any PCI Card inside the docking station.

I want to use Dell LCD in vertical position, but cannot find the way to rotate the extended display to vertical resolution.

Any experiences about this setup?

TIA

You may need the original Dell utility to do the rotation. I have a NEC that can do the same and it has an utility for that.

Wouldn't iRotate/CCC/ATI Tray Tool do the job?

I didn't see the Rotation page tab on my ATI Display Properties.
This Dell 2007WFP actually came with CD Driver, but ATI driver included cannnot be installed on my T42, so I installed the ATI control panel only. I also did install the monitor driver that came with the CD.

Now I see the Rotation page tab, but when I choose ATI to rotate 90 to left or right, the LCD screen looks garbled and unreadable.

Maybe because Dock II DVI pass-thru didn't support vertical resolution?
