Hi, I'm new to the forum and hope I can find a few answers here.
I have two monitors rotated and positioned vertically next to one another. I am running openSUSE 11.1 and have WinXP running in VirtualBox 3.0.2. I use Windows primarily for making PowerPoint presentations.
I would like to rotate the contents of the virtual machine window 90 degrees, but not the window itself in the Linux environment. This would be equivalent to rotating the monitor in a normal Windows environment.
Suggestions are welcome. I am not sure what extra information you might need to help me, but I will be glad to supply it. Thanks in advance!

Re: Rotate Screen in Windows Guest on openSUSE Host
These rotations are usually done by the driver tools, something VB doesn't have. It provides only basic video. But why would you want to rotate the video? You won't be able to see the screen normally.
