    Some one posted th following script and it works for me on Mandriva 2009 Gnome. You need to copy the red text and paste it into a text editor not a word processor and save it like to your desktop or some other place you like. Then go into the properties for the file and make sure you make the file executable.....
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    open PROP, "/usr/bin/xrandr --prop |";
    unless (<PROP> =~ /current\s+(\d+)\s*x\s*(\d+)/) {
    print "Problem reading input.\n";
    } elsif ($1 > $2) {
    exec("/usr/bin/xrandr","-o","left");
    } else {
    exec("/usr/bin/xrandr","-o","normal");
    }

    It's really hard to give you any instructions if you don't tell us what OS you are using. LInux is totally different from Windows.

    Ummm, is there some reason why he couldn't just hit [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Down Arrow] as it explains in the instruction manual?

    Does Linux not have some sorta Acer Launch Manager thingie installed like the Windows version comes with?
