Configure monitor to pivot

English Hardware
1

I finally lashed out and replaced my old 19" CRT with a 22" TFT (LG Flatron 226WU).
So far everything’s Ok (actually bl**dy wonderful :))except I’d like to be able to use this monitor’s pivot feature.

The only info I can find on Google relate to editing xorg.conf by hand (and possibly having 2 copies and restarting X to pivot).

Surely there’s an easier way of configuring it.

Kconsole and KrandTray both show varying screen resolutions but no rotate so I’m guessing it’s a configuration thing.
Sax shows buttons for rotation when I go into the nvidia grafix card configuration but they’re greyed out and anyeay look to be for a fixed option (either always landscape or always portrait).

I’m running openSUSE 10.2 with KDE 3.5.10 on this box and the grafix card is NVidia GeForce 6800 GS.

Anybody got any pointers?
