in CVS since the resize and rotate extension went in - the nv driver is.
But most of the drivers in 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 have support for rotate.

driver does. However, you could use the 3D hardware to perform the
rotation by creating two frame buffers in the card and using the hardware
to rotate one into the other. I've been tempted to try this, but haven't
Hello
I was wondering if any of you folks had any information on running X in
portrait mode (ie - rotating the contents of the display 90 degrees) for
use on a tablet - style computer.
I've noticed that the silicon motion driver has a rotate option, but I
haven't found any others that do. I'm
