Just to add to this:
I was looking at this the other day and along with native rotated
rendering to the framebuffer it would be nice if the ShadowFB could
indicate that it is capable of doing the rotation too.

i.e. When rotation is requested from the config or RandR

Option 1:
  If the hardware can just display a rotated image then just
  render normally and let the driver handle the rotation.

Option 2:
  If the driver is using ShadowFB and the ShadowFB indicates that
  it can rotate in the back->front blit then render normally and
  let ShadowFB handle the rotation.

Option 3:
  If no ShadowFB support and No Driver support then render natively
  rotated.

To whom it may concern,
 
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is this feature planned
for the next release (4.44)?
 
Is it being worked on?  If so who do I need to talk to in order to best
assist in its development?
 
Thanks
 
Gareth.
