Hi Peter,

OpenChrome DDX does not really support hardware rotation, and it is considered 
the lowest priority of features to add.
Sorry about that.
VIA Technologies' more recent open source DDX might have some example code to 
eventually support it with OpenChrome DDX / DRM, but there are so many more 
pressing issues OpenChrome Project needs to work on like getting OpenChrome DRM 
mainlined in the Linux kernel tree and fixing unwanted double allocation of 
visible portion of the frame buffer.
Right now, I am being forced to recover from an uninvited displacement event 
that I am temporarily suspending all OpenChrome development work.
That being said, I expect to resume by late January / early February.

Regards,
