Is there any program on Amiga (MOS) which can rotate the display with 90 or 270 degrees? I have a Samsung SyncMaster 910T monitor, and it can be rotated by 90 degrees, and I want to use it to edit documents or view web pages in portrait mode.

I don't know any tool which allows that and there are currently no short term plans to provide a driver for it. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a rotate switch in a graphics card, so all graphics functions have to be reimplemented in a way that they use lines as columns, and columns as lines .....
Maybe if we implement a 3D desktop anytime soon, there's at least a chance to make it possible since it's far easier to rotate 3d objects than doing it with 2d primitives :)
