I wrote to the console as root echo "some random text">/dev/console eight times and the screen rotated back to normal. This happened just before I took a snapshot of the Xorg log file. The date on this file is 2007-10-19 17:27, whereas I tested at 18:10, so I'm pretty sure the last messages didn't happen at the same time as the shift. I've also notice that it's not just a plain side screen rotation , but the screen actually shifts what appears to be one bit up, so that eventually you start seeing the top of the screen at the bottom.
