I would like to use dual displays in sort of an unusual way. One displaying in "landscape" (horizontal) orientation, the other in "portrait" (vertical) orientation.
What I'm trying to accomplish is outputting Photoshop's full screen slideshow to both monitors simultaneously. The net result would be this, horizontal photos would display full screen on the horizontal display, while the vertical photos would be reduced in size. Meanwhile, vertical photos would display full screen on the vertical monitor, and of course the horizontal photos would be clipped to the width of the X axis of the monitor.
The closest I have come to this is in "clone" mode of dual display. However, it won't allow me to rotate the signal to only one monitor. You get both or nothing. I even installed Sumsung's "Magic Rotation" software, but since software happens before the video driver, both screens still rotate at once.
I have attempted to implement "dual view mode" (which seems like it should be the correct mode for what I'm trying to do), but so far, I've only been able to get wallpaper, and the mouse cursor displayed. So, that's pretty useless. Don't know if I've missed a configuration click somewhere, I swear I've tried them all.
So, is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do?
Also, there's a plan "B" I'm hatching with another machine that has onboard video and a video card. I think that BIOS allows you to enable both, but I'll have to check.
