It seems to me this came up before, in another context. Someone wanted
to mount a slim upside down under a kitchen cabinet, and wanted to know
if the display could run upside down.

I think he gave up and mounted it another way, leaving the question of
whether the software can perform this trick unanswered.


The software is responsible for building bitmaps which are sent to the client. So clearly the software _could_ build the bitmaps rotated by 180 degrees. However all the code assumes normal orientation of the display so this would need a reasonably amount of rewriting. All the animation routines in the firmware would be reversed too (scrolling bottom line would become scolling top line). In short, rotating the display hardware is definately easier...
