I attached my Dell 1703FP to my new MacBook (1.83GHz) via mini-DVI to DVI, and noticed a new option in the Displays System Preferences panel: Rotate. I tested it, and it works as expected.

Those integrated graphics that everyone is slamming seem to do the trick! I hadn't heard anything of this previously, so apologies if this is old news.

If you've used Bootcamp to install XP on your MacBook or MacBook Pro, you might have been frustrated by not being able to right-click. While shift + f10 will usually work, you might be looking for something more familiar. Apple Mouse Utility will let you use Control-click to right click. Simply place it in your Startup folder, and call it with /s, so that it launches silently on startup.

Also, KeyTweak will allow you to remap your Windows keyboard, useful for reassigning modifiers like Control-C to the Mac's Command-C, etc.

[robg adds: Don't worry, we're not turning into Win XP Hints, despite old April 1st announcements to that effect. But if there are general tips that will help Mac users make their time in Windows more productive, such as this pointer to a couple of very useful apps, we'll run them. What we won't do, however, are run hints regarding using Windows XP itself ("How to configure a wireless connection in XP"). There are lots of places for such help, but we'll continue to focus on hints regarding OS X!]

I can in no way take credit for this, but I've heard the new MacBooks are able to right-=click with a two-finger tap on the trackpad. Some nice folks in the oxs86project forums have ported the solution to the MacBook Pro. I haven't had time to try out on my machine yet, but there's a thread on the MacBook Pro area of Apple Discussions, with many people being very happy. I've found some great hints here and figured this is something people here would be interested in.

[robg adds: I would expect Apple will enable this feature by default in a future software update. I have not looked at the above-linked package, so I'm not sure what it consists of. If it were my $2500 MacBook Pro, I might be inclined to wait for an Apple-released solution, but I'm a bit of a chicken about such things...though two-finger clicking is a very cool feature, based on my time so far with my new MacBook.

As an aside, this is also the first hint to use of one of our new hardware categories!]
