brownpants Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello there, I've been searching diligently for an answer to my problem to no avail, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I am running 10.5.5 on a Nvidia 8800GS with dual-dvi out to two dell displays. One display rotates fine (through Display in system preferences). When I set the other monitor to rotation, I get a hang. So I thought I'd change the setting manually through com.apple.windowserver.plist since I see others have had some success in changing resolution, etc by modifying this file. I backed up and modified /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist using the Property List Editor and also /Users/<myusername>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.<some number>.plist I rebooted, and nothing changed. I looked at these files again in Property List editor, they had my edits to the resolution/rotation settings. However it seems that OSX is ignoring these new files. What gives? Are these cached somewhere? Is resolution/rotation coming from a different file? Any insight you can lend would help me greatly.
