Oct. 20th, 2004 03:27 pmI'm fairly new at this company, and I just had a run-in with one of the testing guys.
I've got this touchscreen unit, set into a table. The screen is upside down, so that way it's not poking cables into people's guts as they sit at the unit. Quick play with the NVidia drivers, no problem, everything looks fine.
"There's a problem with the unit." says testing blokie. "When you reboot it, it goes upside down, then goes back to normal."
"Well, yes, windows is upside down, because the screen is upside down."
"no, the bit before windows, that's upside down."
I *think* he now understands that the BIOS is not going to be flipped by the graphics driver...
