Is it possible to rotate two monitors and game on it?

I've been trying and so far the answer is no, but im wondering if anyone has got it to work. I want to rotate both of my Benq lcds, but a problem comes up when I try it. The option to have the horizontal span is gone. So its seperating the LCDs with the resolution 1050x1680.

I want to create something like this to solve my problem with the zoomed in view in command and conquer 3

I do remember someone gaming on a portrait widescreen once but I have no clue if this is possible with 2 screens.
It's even difficult to do this when they are in landscape mode so not to mention when they are both in portrait :(

I know that someone did landscape with hitman, and i have tested it in worms (i think armageddon not sure what 2d worms game it was). But i can only say, try it and you will see.

Yeah a single LCD works fine, although it looks odd.

no doubt you would easily be able to get it to work if you were able to configure the monitor's settings to display the image so the top is on the right, and just play with a very high resolution in triplehead, missing one monitor and having it stretched. However that's a very bad way to game........

Dualhead probably wouldn't work, would the digital version allow you to do a rotation?

Maybe you can do this, if you have nvidia gfx card.

First make a vertical span, and then turn it 90 degrees.

Dunno if it works tho

I'll try the vertical span > rotate monitors tonight. I have a feeling when I enable the vertical span option, the option to rotate the monitors will go away.

So far the only way to do this I think is with the dualhead2go, because the only way I can get that to work without the dualhead2go is to use the dualview option which doesn't allow for gaming across two spanned monitors.
With the dualhead2go the two monitors would be treated as one and you could rotate it as you please.
