Rotate the display, independant of the video card driver?

Hi all,

I realize that display rotation is typically a function of the video card
driver, but I'm wondering if there's any software solution that can do that
independantly of the card...

I understand that it would probably be *way* slower than a native driver,
but I could live with that--the rotated monitor would typically only be
needed to display the content of a couple of windows from Visual Studio
(there's a couple of windows that could use all the vertical space they can
get), so even something with a slow refresh would be perfectly acceptable.

Awesome.  Thanks.

While investigating whether PowerStrip had the capability, I stumbled upon
iRotate (http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/irotate.shtm), made by the same
guys.  It's free, and better yet, it works under XP x64.

I should've dug deeper into this months ago...  :-)
