I have 3 dell 1905fp’s running at 1280 x 1024 individually using the Matrox Tripplehead to go they are at the 3840 x 1024 resolution.

Before I went down the Trip2go route I had them at 90 degree angles so i ended up with 1024 x 1280. Is there any way I can configure the matrox software/windows to do that with all 3 on the matrox system so i end up with a nice large 3072 x 1280?

OS: Win XP pro

I think you simply can't do that, because TH2G tricks your graphics card into seeing your 3 panels as 1 display, while rotating must be done for each panel separately. There are not three signals with TH2G, but a signal chopped into three so to speak. (Gee, my english sucks more with every passing day, hope I'm making sense...)

What you could do with 9 panels and 3 TH2G would be to rotate the whole thing (3840x3072 -> 3072x3840) :lol: but I can't imagine another scenario combining rotation and the TH2G...

Paddy did it, with a game, blazing angels or something like that, you should wait, and ask him (or just pm him :wink: )

Yes and no.

Paddy did rotate his triplehead setup. But he rotated all three screens together, as opposed to independently. Creating what we at the WSGF like to call "tallscreen" we've also got screenies floating around of it being done in Bioshock and Hitman: Blood Money.

A Tetris using that kind of vertical display would be killer :D

As the guys say and as far as I know there is no way to rotate each screen individually.
