Is there a way to flip/invert/mirror a video out on a computer with a on board Intel video card? I'm making a large rear projection screen and i need to invert the image to project properly. One of my projectors has a function that automatically inverts the image, but the other one may or may not (likely not) and i need two projectors to drive the system so I'm hoping to do the inversion on the computer side before projecting.

Look under your video card settings. Under Windows, Intel video card drivers usually have a system tray icon with a name of something like "graphical preferences". Under this, you can select the screen orientation and such.

On Linux:

xrandr -x

To undo:

xrandr -o normal

For Windows, use a screen rotation utility, such as iRotate.

Your video driver must have the required capacity for this (but most now do).

Dose this program support inverting/mirroring? I don't need to rotate the screen, i need to mirror it so that when it projects from the rear it shows up properly at the front. This is very different from simply rotating it. – Faken May 15 '10 at 19:32
@Faken: Video drivers as a rule don't support mirroring, and I didn't manage to find such a software product. – harrymc May 16 '10 at 8:44
@harrymc: Ahh, thats unfortunate, maybe i will need to physically mirror it with an actual mirror. Thanks anyways. – Faken May 17 '10 at 1:29
