I am a X3 newbie, how to rotate screen?

Hugo · 10-24-03, 11:19 AM

I am really confused after reading many post related to rotating the screen to landscape. Some people say you need to buy a utility or a keyboard that comes with the drivers. Apparently after rotating the screen, the size is not stretched but keep the same original size as the portrait orientation? is that true?

I don't have an external keyboard but want to rotate the screen to make internet browsing easier.

please tell me how can I rotate the screen? what driver do I have to dowload?

thanks so much.

I dont believe PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) supports landscape mode. There is a service called thunderhawk but its a yearly subsciption. There may be others...

I found this ebay post about the X5, one of the picture shows the lanscape mode

I contacted the seller to ask about the utility to rotate the screen but did not a reply.

Maybe you can help

Yes, apparently keyboard drivers merely rotate and do not expand the display. I know this is true for Belkin as well as Pockettop.

As for alternative software, see these threads:

Nyditot Virtual Display (NVD) enables your Pocket PC or Handheld PC display to run at virtually Any Resolution, including industry standard VGA, SVGA and XGA.

I found this utility on pocketgear.com

I am using a program called DotPocket from www.dotpocket.com it is a 30.00 program, but you get a 30 day demo to try before you buy. It works with 2002 and 2003.
