Then, another idea is rotating the LCD 180 degrees, then using some kind of LCD command that would allow to rotate the image accordingly - or rewrite the framebuffer output routines accordingly. I assume that, if you're not going through the center of the PCB, but making a slot on the top, the PCB routing shouldn't be as much of a pain. I understand that you've already picked this path, but I do think it's necessary to point out other options, since I know it might not be as obvious =) Cheers!
