Depends on whether your graphics card supports it. Normally ,though it is an entry in the device bit of the xorg.conf such as:<br />
<br />
Section &quot;Device&quot;<br />
Identifier &quot;nvidia&quot;<br />
Driver &quot;nvidia&quot;<br />
Option &quot;RandRRotation&quot;<br />
EndSection <br />
<br />
For an nvidia card. <br />
<br />
You can just try the Option &quot;RandRRotation&quot; entry and see if it works, or look through this list of various directives (and other possibilities) for both XFree86 and Xorg:<br />

I currently have 2 20&quot; widescreen monitors running under linux. I would love to use them vertically, instead of horizantally, but cannot figure out how to make it work. I assume it will require some updates to xorg.conf. Anyone have any experience with this?<br />

Thanks in advance!

Vertical monitor orientation in Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
