Reasons not to leave your laptop unlocked around cats, #243

[brooksmoses]

I went to unlock my laptop this morning, and when the screen came up, the login dialog box was upside down. (Also, caps-lock was acting rather strangely, and it took a few cycles to get that right.)

There is something really quite unsettling about having one's login box upside down on the screen.

After I got logged in, I eventually figured out that somehow something had happened to change the display driver settings to rotate the screen 180 degrees. I have no idea what the magic key sequence is to do that, but apparently our cats managed to hit it....

I figured out how to restore it by going through the control-panel menus and checking the appropriate checkboxes, but somehow I doubt that's how they did it.
