It is possible to do rotations even hardware accelerated. However the
current UI does not scale to it well (as seen from screenshot) and
therefore it is not a supported feature. nchip is using software xrandr
but you still need to compile kernel since screen updates don't work
correctly otherwise ... however using software xrandr you will loose a
bit in performance (additional copy in memory) and quite much in memory
(~750kb).

BTW, if people on the list do experiments on this area or have any
thoughts about resize/rotation, please share them at :

X in 770 is built with '--disable-tcp-transport', so the answer is no.
