Default Rotation Not Working

I deinstalled the old DisplayLink driver, and reinstalled the alpha 1.8 release in the hopes of getting rotation to work with my DoubleSight DS-90U monitor. It is connected to a Mac Mini Server running Lion OSX 10.7.3.

With the monitor connected as either a primary or secondary display, I get no options for screen rotation in Display Preferences. The only thing shown is the default "1024 X 600". I have also tried holding Cmd+Option and clicking Display, as others have mentioned here, but this does not help.

Just to be sure, have you completely quit the System Preferences application and reopened it, before pressing the Cmd-Option keys on the Display icon? You need to use the cmd-option keys the first time you open the Display panel, otherwise it doesn't work. Which Mac model are you using? Thanks

My mistake! I was Cmd-Opt-clicking the "Display" tab within the "Displays" selection in the Preferences menu, thinking that was the procedure. It is working correctly now after Cmd-Opt-clicking the "Displays" icon.

Thanks very much.

I have been trying to cmd-opt click my way to nirvanna and it has not happened. I downloaded http://www.magesw.com/displayrotation/ and was able to rotate on of my HP LP2465.

I am on
  • 13-inch, Mid 2009
  • Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
  • Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)

With 2! 24" HP LP2465 monitors rotated into portrait. Only one of them is on a diamond BVU195.

Playing a vimeo video on the displaylink monitor ...
