NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Driver/software?

I just added 2 Gateway FPD2185W monitors I cant rotate. The makers tell me the new video cards should handle this. I cant find any drivers on the NVIDIA page. Any info how I can get them to rotate. The Apple cinemas will do it...

Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, Mac OS X (10.4.7), 3gb RAM, 2-Gateway FPD2185W monitors , 1.7TB Hard Drive space

I saw a post that stated the ATI X1900 will rotate, no go on Nvidia. Other than that I don't have any info. Search the forum maybe for an answer. Apple controls the drivers for the cards and issues them via Software Update.

In another thread on a similar topic a developer who is using Tiger 10.4.9 claims that rotation with the Nvidia cards is supported. I keep hearing that 10.4.9 is going to be released "any day now," but have been hearing that for months.

Whether it's the case or not 10.4.9 is not available so it's really a moot point. If 10.4.9 does bring this to the Nvidia 7300 GT I'm sure someone will update us regarding it.

It looks like Tiger 10.4.9 won't be released until AppleTV is, or near that date. It's the Os that the new device requires. So if monitor rotation is supported by it, we'll have to wait till the end of the month.

According to my "About This Mac" window, I've got 10.4.9. But it's on my Powerbook G4 and it doesn't appear to support rotating a monitor, even though it's hooked up to a 20" Cinema Display.

I went to an Apple Store and saw a dialog on their Mac Pro's that showed a popup menu in the Display control panel which allowed for 90, 180 and 270 degrees. This was on a 23" and a 30" Cinema.

What I really want is to hook up one of the Gateway FPD2485's (nice monitor for the $) to a Mac Pro and use it in portrait mode for a special project, but I'm still unsure if it's going to work. Any new info from anyone?
