How to make a VGA monitor vertically display under an Intel GMA950?

I have a Philips LCD Monitor (200WS8) attached to my thinkpad X41, and wanna use it vertically to display content while the internal screen of X41 have a normal display. But without success, the Philips LCD can get rotate 90 degree clockwise but poor freshrate , which seems that every operation (such as scroll in firefox) in display is really slow, and annoying font display.....

I use this command:

xrandr  --output VGA --rotate right

Then I test the internal screen of X41 with the command of "xrandr  --output LVDS --rotate right" and got almost the same result....

Is it possilble to make a vertically display on an Intel card...or... this feature is depended on LCD?

Okay, it may depend on the LCD's specifications. Mine seems not supported....

OK.... Philips has responded to my inquiry of whether my 200WS8 supports vertical display and said "oh, yes, your 200WS8 support display in vertical mode but only in windows"

Didn't you say that it worked?

AFAIK rotate-ing with xrandr does disable any acceleration.
