Free screen rotation software?

Hi.

I have a X3 (WM2003) and I'd like to try the horizontal screen setting, but it seems all applications allowing this are shareware...

Anyone recommend a good free one?

I was only aware of Nyditot... as far as I know, there are no free programs that will rotate your screen, but then again, I have never done much research on this matter.

There is a free one I learned about on Aximsite called ScreenRotate. Do a search and you should be able to find it. I use on my Axim X50v and it works grest,

does it offer something special that WM2003 does not? It seems like overkill to use it if not.

Yes, jhenning, it does. The X3 runs WM2003 First Edition, which has no option for screen rotation like Second Edition does. Therefore, no overkill. I've used NYDITOT for some time now and love it, FWIW. You do have to soft reset in between settings changes, though.

yes, for WM2003 it is obviously not overkill, but as robinson said, it he uses it with his X50v which will be running on WM2003SE at the minimum... possibly WM5, both of which support landscape mode natively.

The screenrotate program is not overkill as it works faster than the built switcher, can be mapped to a button easily and it rotates 90 degrees at a time. You can even go completely upside down! The OS doesn't do that natively.

What is this ScreenRotate program that you mention. I've been searching for it but couldn't find anything. I would like to rotate my screen that its upside down.

Thanks for posting the link, but it's not working. I think I'm getting a page/file not found error, but everything is in japanese so I can't tell.
