Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:3 JordanCrouse]:
 > The problem is very clear - the Xv driver just isn't designed for
 rotation.  When rotation was first provided, we had discussed and agreed
 that we wouldn't support rotated video.

 Rotated video would be wrong anyway, because the camera itself has been
 rotated. It's only the non-video portions of the display that should
 rotate. The UI items move from the 1200-pixel sides of the screen to the
 900-pixel sides of the screen and the video appears to the user in
 portrait mode. As far as the hardware is concerned, the video doesn't need
 to rotate or even move.
