Fun With New Macbook video drivers on Vista

I run Vista on my Macbook.  It’s a great machine, but some of the drivers are flaky, because they were intended for XP.  Until Apple updates Boot Camp for Vista, you must use the XP drivers.

Today, I noticed a Windows Update for the chipset drivers.  I was feeling bold, so I let it install.  I hadn’t noticed a difference until a few moments ago while surfing a web page.  I wanted to return to the top of the page, so I pressed “fn+ctrl+left arrow” (which is the equivalent of ctrl+home), or so I thought. 

Actually, I pressed “ctrl+alt+left arrow” and my display rotated 90 degrees to the right!  I realized what I had done, and tried “ctrl+alt+right arrow” to remedy the situation.  That put the display 90 degrees rotated to the right.  Finally, I tried “ctrl+alt+up arrow” and the screen returned to normal.  Can you guess what I tried next? icon smile Fun With New Macbook video drivers on Vista
