The regular XFree86 server already has such code; I was planning on
building a more CPU efficient version to make it consume no more joules
than in the regular orientation. The XFree86 code shadows the frame
buffer and periodically blts large chunks to the screen. That's an easy
way of doing things, but rather wasteful when we expect people will
usually use the screen rotated in one direction or another.
I'm working right now on a new X rendering system; rotating iPaq screens
is on hold (no, I'm really not waiting for an iPaq to arrive. Honest.)
