Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 jnettlet reports that after hunting a bit more he _has_ a patch that works
 on all orientations. However, what the patch fixes is setting orientation
 on the 'Screen' (Virtual Screen?), which is what happens when you forget
 to say --output XYZ .

 So in theory, if we say xrandr -o [orientation] --output LCD, it just
 works. Initial testing shows this to be true on XO-1.5, but apparently not
 so on XO-1 (needs confirmation).

 I'll prep an appropriate olpc-rotate patch.

 One thing jnettlet notes is that you must use the "right name" for the
 output for this to work -- I suspect the name used/understood by xrandr is
 not the name given in xorg.conf; seems to be driver-implementation-
 dependent.
