You have a Mac with 8 MB of VRAM and you are running at 1024x768 or
higher, yes? To get the the rotation to work correctly, switch to
800x600 launch MBC (set that to music and Andrew might get a different
set of lawyers knocking on his door:) and run at 800x600, or switch back
to 1024x768. Does it work now? Chaning the bit depth introduces other
problems.
Try the resolution thing... I expect that it will fix the rotation
problem.
Try the bit depth thing... I expect that it will introduce new an
interesting display problems.
and report back here. I thoroughly poked that issue with a stick here
(on a PB G3 FireWire aka Pismo) a while ago, and Andrew and I exchanged
messages about it a while ago. I am not a programmer, but I suspect it
is an OS thing. Andrew didn't say one way or the other (OS or MBC
problem).

I couldn't resist, and I had to poke it a tiny bit :) It is like a
birthday cake that just cries for someone to take a fingerful of
frosting.... mmmm frosting.

I'll give those links a look.
Oh yeah, finals are not done yet, and I am killing a few minutes before
administering my next exam. Which isn't a final, it is test number 4.
