Thanks for the feedback.  I'm using shr unstable and kernel 2.6.34.7.  I guess 
the difference is due to one of those being different.

Incidentally, I can only rotate the screen "left" (the top is on the left side 
of the display).  I cannot rotate it right or inverted as Leonardo mentioned.  
I'm assuming that's also due to a kernel difference or unstable/testing 
difference.
