When you choose a rotation, it just happens. The big problem seems to be that there's no "Did this change work - yes or no" dialog box. He wound up doing an archive and install in FireWire target disk mode to get it back. After much troubleshooting, neither of us were able to resolve it (you couldn't even boot from the install DVD, and pulling the battery didn't help). Somehow, this resulted in a scan-out-of-range error. Warning: A friend of mine tried the rotation trick on his machine with an older (VGA CRT) monitor connected. My main machine, though, can have a rotated display, and it works quite well.
Open mac powerbook g4 in safe mode mac os#
It wasn't recognizing my password, I tried several times and finaly decided to use the Software Install and Restore disk and reinstall Mac OS X. I restarted and couldn't get pass the login window. You won't see this panel on every Mac - the 12" PowerBook I own, for instance, doesn't seem to want to let me type sideways. I have a PowerBook G4 and while trying to open a software application it froze (1st time ever). [ robg adds: This is a very cool feature, especially with some of the larger monitors that are coming out - a 23" LCD on its side would make a nice monitor for someone who works with large numbers of text-based documents each day (or who wants to view maybe four full-height webpage windows on one screen). I'm not sure if this is only with a Cinema display or not I have the new 20" aluminum display. If you go into the Displays prefrence panel, you will see a new drop down caled "Rotate." This will rotate the image on your display a number of diffrent ways: 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Not sure if this is a hint or not, but I have not seen it mentioned anywhere yet.
