Gentoo user here. I've just been trying to figure out exactly where this
fails to see whether I can do something about it. I'm thinking that if
it's already possible to rotate through xorg.conf, making it work
through RandR can't be that hard. The request is made in
XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate of libXrandr and the BadMatch reply is
received here. What I can't figure out is where the request actually
gets handled and where that BadMatch reply is actually generated. The
request/response mechanism seems to be handled by libX11 but this
doesn't have anything to do with the actual operation. It must surely be
driver-specific so I've looked at xf86-video-intel and xf86-video-
radeonhd and while there is RandR rotation stuff in there, I can't see
anything that looks like it's dealing with such a request. I've not
really hacked X before. Maybe I'll ask on a mailing list unless you guys
have any ideas?
