Multi screen setup with pivot

Hello there,

I use vbox 4.3.20 on a Win 7 host and with a Win XP SP3 guest; with two screens (both 1600x1200).

Works perfectly fine as long as I do not try to pivot one screen in order to do my layouting work; I'd like to use the left screen with 1600x1200 and the right screen with 1200x1600.

However, in guest additions 4.3.20r96996 you can't turn around your screens, is there any solution known?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

I recall there's something in the forum about Custom Video Modes that might help. Search for "custom video mode site:forums.virtualbox.org" on Google

Take a look at No Screen Orientation option in Win 7 guest OS. The solution (use rotate on the host, not on the guest) works as expected. Tested and verified on a MacBookPro with an external display attached.
