Yes. However, rotating individual displays with the proprietary driver only works when the displays are set as independent screens. If you want a single continuous desktop area, you need to use the nouveau driver which supports rotating individual displays in this case. I haven't done any of this myself, but this is what I gather from reading the documentation. -- Anssi Hannula
