Screen Rotation for GeForce 6600??

Hi! Is there any way to rotate the screen on a Quad G5 with the Geforce 6600 video card? I was used to rotation on my G4 with my old Radeon 9200 card and I miss that feature on the Quad. Thanks, Tom

Upgrade to Leopard. Geforce cards (other than the AGP 5200) are rotated in the Displays preferences.

ATI has always been good for providing features.
Just for fun, hold Option when you launch Displays Preferences.
Does a Rotate option appear?

  • IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

    The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times.  I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position).  I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back.  This is very annoying.
    I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos.  Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
    The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use.  It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
    Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

    I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located.  (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

  • Texting  - Screen rotation for easier typing

    So....i have a bit of a problem texting with my iPhone...always have and im fairly sure, unless my fingers shrink, that i will always will. My question is, will a new update, perhaps 2.0 allow for a screen rotation for texting, as it does with web browsing? I think this would be a great help....
    Any clues? And if not, think its possible to provide feedback and force them to do it????
    -ph

    If Apple doesn't provide it -- why they don't boggles the mind -- I'm sure there will be an early app at the app store allowing you to go wide-screen for emails. Seems like a no-brainer to me!

  • Why no ASR (Automatic Screen Rotation) for the N95...

    I saw that Nokia implemented the ASR for the upcoming version of the N95 8GB, v.20.0.016
    Why wasn't it implemented in v.21.0.016 of
    the N95-1 (RM-159) ?
    Will it be implemented in the final version? (i hope)

    Did nokia "borrow" samir's idea and use it in the N82?
    All I can say is that I prefer the built-in ASR.
    Well I don't think any of us like not having automatic screen rotation. Although I'd rather if there was an option to change the way the screen rotates. For example, the screen splashes like water or something that's more interesting than a boring "blink".
    That's right people, I'm back. Where have I been? I have been getting a life, away from this electric madness.

  • Toshiba AT10LE-A - screen rotate for no reason

    I've got the AT10LE-a, recently noticed the screen will rotate for no reason, it will then just stay in that position no matter what position the screen is.
    The only way to reset, is to power off then put back on, but the same thing will happen sometime.
    I've not done a hard reset yet.

    Hi
    How about the Auto-rotate screen option?
    Apps -> Settings -> Screen -> Auto-rotate screen
    Check the check-box to enable your screen to auto-rotate the screen in apps, Web pages, and games that support auto-rotation. This allows the screen to automatically switch the orientation of the currently viewed screen as you turn the tablet sideways or upright.

  • 6 Plus: Screen rotation for pre-installed apps

    Having a bit of an argument on this one with the fiance, so some input would be greatly appreciated:
    With the Phone app on the iPhone 6 Plus, is the screen supposed to rotate or not? My fiance called Apple Support and was told that it was supposed to. However, I chatted with Apple Support several hours later and was told that some apps on the 6 Plus, including the phone app, do not rotate.
    So which one is it? Personally, I'm satisfied with the answer that I got, but the fiance isn't since she was told otherwise by a different Apple Support person.
    Thanks.

    I've also experienced this same problem using snapseed.  It's really frustrating to use the app.

  • Drivers for Geforce 6600

    I have just purchased a dual G5. For the past 2 days I have been searching for driver upgrades to the Nvidia 6600 graphics card but I cannot find anything anywhere on the web.
    Can someone please help?

    Hi Jaymom
    I understand you but you must know that graphics used in notebooks can not be cooled like graphic cards on desktops and because of that there is no much driver updates. The priority of notebook manufacturers is hardware protection.
    A friend of mine has Qosmio G30 (European model) and we have tested many games very successfully. Graphics is really fantastic and every game runs without bucking. The best example is Call of duty 2. I am really hooked on this game now. :) Because of that I am really surprised that you write about bad graphics. You have to set all graphics options to max level!

  • G5 2.3 GHz (2 cores) - GeForce 6600 and a Dvi-D 24"  Screen

    Hi There,
    I have the G5 2.3 Ghz (2 cores) with the GeForce 6600 card, My question is: will it work with a new
    Samsung 24" 1920x1200 (model: 2493HM) with a DVI-D port out of the box? or do I need an adaptor to connect them.
    a friend led me to believe that the ports on my G5 are DVI-I and therefore it will not connect to the screen unless i'll use an adapter. (Please recommend one if so)
    I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display Attached.
    Thx.

    The ports on your card are DVI-I. All this means is that the ports carry both digital and analog signals. A DVI-D monitor simply won't have the pins on its cable for the analog connection - that's fine because you don't need them since you're using the digital signal.
    Your DVI-D monitor will connect just fine with your existing graphics card out of the box, no adapter needed.
    To see how the ports are laid out, see the Wikipedia page on DVI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI

  • Looking for Nvidea GeForce 6600 OR Similar Graphics Card for Quad G5 PPC

    Hi there!
    Wishing a Happy New Year to yo'all!
    Was wondering whether someone might help me out with a minor issue I'm having...
    I have recently acquired a Quad 2.5GHz PPC G5 (with PCIe). When I bought it, it came installed with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card, which works just fine. Heard these cards are very good for 3D rendering, etc...
    However... As I am an audio engineer, I don't need a flashy graphics card... Instead I need "flashy" sound cards...
    I have two PCIe UAD-2 Quad cards for all my UAD plugin needs within Logic Pro... And I have PCIe Symphony X card for my Apogee (AD16X & DA16X) front end sound conversion. All which sound and work very well... So far so good!
    But here's the problem... My Quad PPC has 4 PCIe slots, which should be fine for my arrangement i.e. one slot for graphics card, one for PCIe Symphony card, two for UAD-2 Quad cards... BUT the damnable NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 takes up two PCIe slots!!!
    I have looked on line to find out what the Quad 2.5GHz G5 PPC was originally supplied with: an Apple OEM Nvidea GeForce 6600. However these are rare and hard to come by now-a-days... And I can't wait forever till one pops up for sale.
    So... Can anyone recommend to me a graphics card that will work in the Quad 2.5GHz G5 PPC... AND take up only one PCIe slot and be able to run a 30 inch DVI Apple display i.e. it needs two DVI ports???
    I'd even do an out right swap for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and a good condition and working Apple OEM Nvidea GeForce 6600!? Heard this is more than a fair deal...
    Cheers in advance!

    Hi-
    You can buy a Geforce 6600LE at We Love Macs. They aren't cheap, though.
    This eBay seller has several of the 6600LE cards, at a much better price. The seller is very reliable (from experience) and carries the positive feedback to support my recommendation.
    This 7800GT is also a good possibility. It takes only one slot, and provides much better performance than the 6600LE.
    This flashed 7800GT is also an option. A flashed card is one that has the PC ROM replaced with Mac ROM. Again, this seller knows his stuff.....
    As with the 6600LE, the 7800GT has a dual link DVI to support the 30" ACD.
    After you get a replacement card, might try and get a few quid for the FX 4500 on eBay.
    An original will sell better than the flashed models that are selling there.

    Hi, Polynomial. Try posting the question in one of the G5 forums. Most MacBook Pro owners aren't likely to be of much help with it.

  • NVidia PNY GeForce 6600 AGP Flashing Issue (ROM says too large for EEPROM)

    Here's a puzzle for anyone willing to assist (I've heard japamac has a good history with this sort of thing so *fingers crossed*).
    So, I got a Quicksilver Power Mac G4 recently for free (gotta love the university just throwing stuff away) and it was the 800Mhz Single Core model. I've recently acquired a Sonnet 1GHz upgrade cpu nib from a thrift shop for $7 and also got my hands on a free and working PNY 6600 AGP card (256mb). I had recalled the 6600 having the ability to flash a mac rom so I thought it would be a sure thing, especially after having done similar build-up for my old Dual 500 Gigabit Ethernet machine, instead opting for an ATI 9600 and a 1.8 sonnet proc which I then sold for $180 bundled with Leopard.
    I followed this tutorial (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2645959?start=0&tstart=0) and downloaded the latest nvflash and the rom image hosted on the site. According to windows the rom file is 32kb, and when I opened up nvflash it stated the rom already installed was around 64kb. I followed all instructions to a t and even opted to erase the eeprom as was suggested after backing up stock.rom.
    So far so good...however when I try to flash the nvmac.rom file, I keep getting some error about a PCI board id not matching (having to override w/ yes) shortly before getting an error message that states that the .rom image is too large for the eeprom. How is this possible?
    The card in question is a PNY GeForce 6600 256MB DDR DVI-VGA-TV AGP Video Card G606600ABD25T+BC4BCA
    Am I just SOL because it actually is too large, or am I missing something here? I've re-flashed the stock.rom back onto the card and all works well on the windows front, but I was really hoping to have a mac 6600 on the cheap...any suggestions?
    If you need any specific info, just ask. Will try to respond asap. Other than the rom size error message, every other step of that tutorial works just fine.

    Unless I am missing something, the 6600 ROMs on the Mac Elite site all (3) show a 128 KB size. The 6600 PNY is listed as 128, and a download and check of the file confirms it.
    If your cards ROM is 64 KB, you will need to solder a new, larger chip on the board.
    Did you download a 6200 ROM?

  • External screen rotation broken?

    Hi all,
    I've got a unibody macbook (first generation) with the Nvidia Geforce 9400M GPU. When I installed Snow Leopard in the place of Leopard, screen rotation stopped working for me. I have a mini-displayport to dual-link dvi adapter connected to matrox triplehead2go digital edition with two 24" flat panels connected for a screen resolution of 3840x1080.
    In Leopard, I set the screen rotation to 90 degrees, and I rotate my two screens and everything is great. In Snow Leopard, no matter what I set the screen rotation to, it never actually rotates the display. According to System Profile, screen rotation is supported:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M:
    Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
    Type: GPU
    Bus: PCI
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0863
    Revision ID: 0x00b1
    ROM Revision: 3343
    Displays:
    Color LCD:
    Resolution: 1280 x 800
    Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Built-In: Yes
    Display:
    Resolution: 3840 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
    Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Rotation: Supported
    Adapter Type: Mini DisplayPort To Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    Adapter Firmware Version: 1.01
    When the screen is set to be rotated, instead of saying Rotation: Supported, it says Rotation: 90, or 270, or whatever it's currently set to.

    Lack of official support (from Matrox) doesn't have anything to do with the problem.
    I have USB keys, and external hard drives, that aren't officially supported by the manufacturer on OSX, and the drives work just fine because there is no bug in the OSX drivers. Like DVI, USB mass storage works using standards.
    If in Snow Leopard, external drives stopped working when the drive size was exactly 3.5798 GB, it wouldn't matter whether or not the manufacturer of the drive supported OSX, there would still be a problem with the driver.
    The TripleHead2Go is just a monitor, and DVI doesn't support rotation, it's something that's built into the Apple/Nvidia drivers.
    In any case, to prove the point, when I use the TripleHead2Go and set the display size to 1920x1080, rotation works just fine. When I use the TripleHead2Go and set the display size to 3840x1080, rotation doesn't work at all.
    The driver no longer handles rotation at 3840x1080, which it used to in Leopard. If I had $55,000 just to prove a point, I'd buy the Barco LX5 Projector, which supports 3840x1080 natively.
    In any case, the point I'm trying to make is that the device works fine in Snow Leopard, OSX just sees it as an attached monitor. The problem is with the driver not handling 3840x1080 as a display resolution when rotated to portrait. It works just fine in landscape.

  • G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw don't work together

    I purchased both (G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw) brand-new a few days ago.
    When I connect the display using the supplied DVI->VGA cable, the display works. When I connect them using (about any type of) DVI-D cable, I get no picture. The dell screen just stays in stand-by mode. BUT it gets detected (I can see this when I connect a second screen). And the screen show a test image when I disconnect it from the mac, so there's at least SOMETHING happening...
    What is wrong here?
    I am first-time Mac user and on edge to go to the PC/Unix world again, without ever looking back to apple-land, because of this, as it is SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP christmas for us this year.
    Thanks for your help.

    Actually ``detect displays'' found the screen, that was what I meant in my first post.
    The issue is kinda solved now, the DVI-Port of the ``brand-new'' display, which was delivered directly from the Dell factory in Limerick, is non-functional.
    I tried it with a different setup (PC) and see the same symptoms, which lead me to this conclusion. I will get a full refund and possibly buy a 3007WFP if the price is decent.
    It should work with a Geforce 6600 - even at 2560x1600.
    Thanks,

  • Run Quad G5 GeForce 6600 256M PCIe card in PORTRAIT MODE?

    Hello,
    I have a G5 Quad PPC with the stock 256M GeForce 6600 video card.
    Is there a way that I can run my monitor in portrait mode using this card?
    Thanks...

    You can't run the monitor in portrait mode in Tiger (10.4.x). The rotation feature didn't exist in the graphics card drivers for nVidia cards (it does for ATi).
    With Leopard (10.5.x), the rotation feature has been added for nVidia cards.
    To use this feature, you can either change to an ATi card and continue to use Tiger, or upgrade to Leopard if you're keeping your nVidia card.

  • Geforce 6600 on rs480m2: s3 issues?

    I have the following question:
    did anybody succeed to install a geforce 6600 on a rs480m2 without standby problems?
    I have installed a xfx geforce 6600 (passive, low profile, 256 mb) on this motherboard. Without the card I have no problems with resume from s3 standby (ati catalyst 6.2, bios 3.9), with the card it resumes from standby but the screen stays black (forceware 81.98). I hope that anyone succeeded and give me some tips about best drivers.
    I use the pc for mce2005 and I have installed all possible windows updates.

    Update after question to msi technical support:
    My question:
    I own a rs480m2 mainboard with a venice 3000+ cpu. I use this setup for mce2005. Resume from s3 standby gives no problems when I use the onboard gpu (ati catalyst 6.2 and bios 3.9). When I add a xfx geforce 6600 gpu the system does resume from standby but the screen stays black (forceware 81.98). Is this a known issue with this board and can you recommend what I should do (drivers, bios,...)
    The 6600 gpu gives also hangups when watching livetv, on the forum I saw that there are more members with compatibility issues between geforce 6600 and this mainboard. Can you help me?
    Their answer:
    Sorry we haven't receive the same issue yet. Would you please try to contact to your VGA card vendor for update the BIOS the install the latest driver. Also we would suggest you try to change another PSU with higher power.
    Is this a problem of the VGA card, I cannot find a new bios for this card? I use a 400 W Elan Vital PSU, could that be the problem?
    Am I really the only one having problems?
