Hi, all

  To repeatedly cycle test, I have written a shell-script to test the rotate. Now it can properly rotate in Xserver 1.8 (Need add my gamma correction  patch).
  Because I have some confuse on memorysize, so I need some time to research and consider whether this approach is correct. I can not explain too specific. But it can solve the urgent rotate issue in temporary.
  Any other latest update, I will inform.

Please see below change:

 Welcome everyone test the code.


I suggest you use:

    Rotate left:          xrandr --output OUTPUT --rotate left
    Rotate right:        xrandr --output OUTPUT --rotate right
    Rotate inverted:  xrandr --output OUTPUT --rotate inverted
    Rotate normal:    xrandr --output OUTPUT --rotate normal
	
	where OUTPUT would be replaced by one of the outputs shown when you run `xrandr' without any options. You can use "xrandr -q" to know your OUTPUT name. 
BTW: The Xrandr Guide: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2#Note_for_Ubuntu_Gutsy_users

        The `-o' options is a RandR 1.0/1.1 command and may exercise a
different driver code path from the RandR 1.2 `--rotate' option. RandR
1.2 introduced per-output rotation which wasn't available in earlier
versions. Consequently, `xrandr -o' is equivalent to rotating the entire
desktop (composed of all the outputs) rather than just a specific
output. Depending on the Geode driver's support for multiple outputs and
which outputs are connected, using `xrandr -o' could confuse the driver.

Thanks,
