Somehow my brain was hard-wired into associating lack of acceleration with the MESA software driver, I haven't been using the open source radeon driver for a long time :-) > > > DRM Information from dmesg: > > --------------------------- > > [ 0.000000] No AGP bridge found > > [ 0.000000] No AGP bridge found > > [ 0.463471] Linux agpgart interface v0.103 > > Looks like something is preventing the radeon kernel driver from > loading / initializing.

Turns out the radeon module was not loaded at boot-time, probably it was not in the initrd. Loading the module and starting X.org with rotation enabled works now, as does XRandR. Sorry for opening a silly "bug" like this, but maybe this could be considered a real-world use-case for more explicit error messages ;-) Thank you!
