The past week or two I have been trying to get an old Gateway m275 laptop to function. The issue is the machine is so old that there are not current drivers for the machine. Intel decided not to create Windows 7 drivers for the 85822GME chipset so people wanting to upgrade are stuck with only being able to use the standard vga drivers. These drivers don't offer screen rotation was my biggest gripe.
The reason I wanted screen rotation is I want to mount this older machine under a cabinet in my kitchen. The machine would then be upside down.
Here were the links I used to get this working.
This is a step by step guide that allowed me to get my driver working.

Prior to this I would get the yellow exclamation mark over the driver.
Follow them to the T and you and should be good to go.
