https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/How-to-disable-Rotation-GMA-500/m-p/345118#M21942 <P>I have an HP Slate 500, which has the GMA 500 graphics processing. The tablet comes with driver version 8.14.10.2025. When you physically turn the tablet 90 degrees, the desktop rotates accordingly. I don't want this to happen. On this tablet, you can push the power button to a locked position to disable automatic rotation, but I want to accomplish this via software instead.</P><P></P><P>Googling the topic led me to discussion of an "Enable Rotation" option. The "Graphics Properties" window for the above driver version does not have that option. So, I installed the latest (???) version on Intel's website... 5.0.0.2030 (yes, it seems like it would be an older version???). This does have that option. I set it to OFF, to hopefully disable automatic... but it doesn't do anything. When I physically turn the tablet, the desktop still rotates.</P><P></P><P>How to accomplish this?</P> Mon, 27 Jun 2011 19:21:17 GMT idata 2011-06-27T19:21:17Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/How-to-disable-Rotation-GMA-500/m-p/345118#M21942 <P>I have an HP Slate 500, which has the GMA 500 graphics processing.

Rotation mode is a feature controlled by the VBIOS of the graphics controller, this can be customized according to your computer specifications, and this means that only your computer manufacturer can modify this feature through Vbios, also, try getting drivers directly from your manufacturer.</P><P></P><P>ht</P><P>tp://<A href="http://communities.intel.com/thread/22869?tstart=120">communities.intel.com/thread/22869?tstart=120</A></P> Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:31:15 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/How-to-disable-Rotation-GMA-500/m-p/345119#M21943 Allan_J_Intel1 2011-08-02T17:31:15Z
