This is really more of an question for the xorg list.  FIrst of all
what hardware are you using?  Secondly, what do you mean by "primary"?
 The crtc at the lowest base addess?  the one referenced as screen 0?
Finally, are you using "xinerama" dualhead or mergedfb?  if you are
using xinerama dualhead you can switch the head orientation by
changing the orientation in your screenlayout.  if you are using
mergedfb you can change the orientation by changing the CRT2Position
driver option.
