Ctrl-Alt-Up – right side up

Ctrl-Alt-Right – 90 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Down – 180 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Left – 270 degrees

(If that doesn't work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)

Intel copied the keystroke for the same “feature” in their video card
drivers. I can't think of a good reason why I would need an always-on
keystroke for this on a desktop PC.
