Thanks for the info.  I'll look into it.

I was still hoping to find a way to rotate the screen without using the X
driver.  The system I'm running FG on isn't your "typical" PC.  The "official"
flight simulator installed on the system doesn't require the X display to be
rotated.  FG is more of a side project that can't disturb the "official"
simulator, thus, I'm a bit limited on what I can do to the systems.

Thanks for the help,

Eric
