Enable Rotating the Display
I went to the www.ati.com website and downloaded the "ATI DISPLAYS 4.5.1" driver package. It installs a new System Preferences pane that allows any ATI graphics card to rotate the screen.
Enable Rotating the Display-ATI Displays 4.5.6 HELL - Kernel Panic
I just spent the last 12 hours in hell trying to get my 17" powerbook back! I looked for the ATI Displays 4.5.1 package and all they had at ATI's site was the newer 4.5.6 version. It states in the details about the file that it will work with all ATI cards, including the 9700 in the 17" powerbook. I installed it, (telling me ahead of time I had to reboot after) and then the configuration box opened. I rotated the display with no problem. Ran a couple programs and absolutely loved the longer display! I then rebooted and had a kernal panic during boot. It got to the blue screen just before the login window and then kernel paniced. I was able to boot off the MRD emergency boot cd and get back online to research the issue. I found nothing at ATI's site and nothing of any value anywhere else other than to remove anything ATI related in the /system/library/extensions folder. I did and was able to reboot. Display pref pane now only shows 1440x900 resolution, so I then installed the recommended 17" powerbook graphics update and rebooted. Machine is back, no kernel panic. |
