[clug] Monitors that swivel

[Lana Brindley]

This is a real long shot, but is there anyone on-list who uses a monitor in
portrait-orientation (so it's taller than it is wide)?

I'd really love to have one (I've been looking at the Samsungs, but Dell has
a small offering too), but I'm concerned about them working with Linux. I'm
running RHEL5 and am pretty much guaranteed that the version of X that is
shipped with it won't run a swivelled monitor. Apparently it will be
supported in RHEL6, but I'm not sure I can wait that long! I have some
anecdotal evidence that it works under F10, so I'm considering F11 as soon
as it ships (should be in a week or so, according to word on the street),
but would be really interested to hear from anyone else who's tried it.

Thanks,
Lana

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of
madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the
aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and
aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and
vagaries of the crowd.
