I'm interested in the rotating thing.  I use the vertical more then I use
horizontal.

I've been fighting a failing high res CRT and looking for a replacement.
I'm running 2 monitors at 1860x1440 each.  Try finding a 21" LCD that does
beyond x1200.  Or a CRT nowadays :-(

I was running x1600 before I upgraded Fedora and my X settings bumped it
down to x1440.  My 40+ yr old eyes have decided to just do x1440 instead of
upping the font size in gnome-terminal.  I'm not ready to give up another 2"
of vertical screen resolution.

I have a linux tablet that runs  800x600.  A script to rotate X11 on it does
the trick except some gnome control apps really don't like it.  I had my app
rotate its view instead.
