flip composite signal for hacked flipdown LCD

I got a cheap ps2 LCD screen with my best buy gift card a while ago, and I thought about doing an image flip on my dual head graphics card, but 2 things
1) my SIS drivers don't support that function according to "iRotate"
2) I would like to make an aux in video/audio input for a game console or something for the kids.

it's was a "fip up" .. but with some modification I have it suitable for a flip down and at only $80 I feel it was a good deal, I just need to figure out how to flip the composite signal, then no matter where the signal come from it will always look ok.

laying in bed last night I did think of just flipping the screen in it, but in case that fails or won't work.. anyone have some ideas for doing this ?

(I searched a bit here too)

There's a program called Pivot that will do flips and screen rotates.

yes, but I am 90% sure my SiS Xabre graphics card (I like it because it supports hardware s-video/compsite out w/dual head display). does not have driver support for rotation. however on that note I did a registry search for "rotate" and it looked like there was a hotkey utility that should come with my drivers but it doesn;t that should rotate it, but I only need one screen rotated 180.

More importantly, a software rotate would not fix the issue of using the screen with other composite devices. I'm not trying to be a choosey begger, but I was more looking for a hardware solution, messingwith the hsync maybe or vsync I dunno. if my physical flip works I'll let ya all know though.

Why don't you remove the LCD panel and re-install it upside-down?

I don't know if software will rotate a display going through the TV-out.

Pivot will, I once used it with a PSOne screen without the VGA Hack. I mounted it upside down so the hinges were at the top.
