I am using i865G and 2.6 kernel series and I would like to use pivot. (Use my
monitor in portrait.) It seems the options available are quite thin for me:

- Xrandr rotation doesn't generally work on Linux platform
- i810fb doesn't recognize my i865G 
- intelfb hasn't been ported to 2.6 series
- Intel's version of the driver doesn't support rotation
- VesaFB. Works.

VesaFB works alright as long as I don't rotate the view. When I rotate the
performance turns (understandably) completely horrible. 1280x1024x16 rotated
CCW is extremely slow and practically not usable at all.

Is there or will there be any sorts of development that will remedy the
situation?
