Hi Guys, this is Rigo from Advanced Micro Devices. I looked at this rotation issue using Ubuntu 9.10 which comes with generic kernel 2.6.31-17 and Xserver 1.6.4. I am able to rotate the screen just fine with the default geode driver that comes with this distribution using Xrandr.  I used command such as:
> xrandr -o left
> xrandr -o right
> xrandr -o inverted
> xrandr -o normal

Rotation is working just fine with 'xrandr'. One thing I noticed is that
'xorg.conf' has been removed from Ubuntu 9.10, so I could not test the
original post of rotation problems with 'Xorg.conf'. Since 'Xorg.conf'
will no longer be available in current and future releases of Ubuntu it
does not make sense to go to an older version of Ubuntu and try to
figure out how to rotate from 'Xorg.conf'. We had already been warned
that 'xorg.conf' would be removed in the future releases and instead of
trying to fix this issue on one particular Ubuntu version I propose
finding out what the original post wanted to accomplish by rotating from
'xorg.conf' and find a work around that would work on all the Ubuntu
Linux distributions. For Example if the intention was just to use
'xorg.conf' to rotate the display as the system booted then we can do
this from some other script file as the system boots.

So, if the person who original posted this issue has not solved this
rotation problem, I would like that person to update this issue and let
us know what he/she is trying to accomplish so we can suggest a suitable
work around to the deprecated 'xorg.conf' way.
