Hopefully this will not just be for Cinema Displays. The Dell 20" Widescreens can rotate too, among others.

I'm going to move to Tiger much quicker than I moved to Panther if it supports display rotation natively.

Ok, I've got 10.4, a PMG4 DP, a Radeon 9000 and a Dell 20" 2005FPW that rotates. I don't see this as an option in the Displays pref. Anyone out there see differently?
