Sore point.
Several drivers supported rotated desktops either in 4.2 or before 4.3.
A new extension (RandR - Rotate and Resize) was added in 4.3 which
was designed to add this, but the full version didn't make it into
the standard server (I think it is in the kdrive/TinyX server),
and the rotation features are not currently supported.
Worse, the RandR support that was included broke rotation for
those drivers which had previously supported it :-(.

Sorry I don't know. The people who were doing rotation seem to have 
parted company with XFree86 since the above fiasco.
