    Can't get 2005fpw to fork 1050 X 1680

    I have 2 2005fpws and to save some space I need 1 to run 1680X1050 and another 1050X1680. When I turn 1 monitor 90 degrees the monitor menu shows 1050*1680, but in windows it still works as 1680X1050 and there is no resolution as 1050X1680. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
