I spoke too soon.  I don't get the warning in Xorg.0.log anymore, but
someone tried to use the system and told me the screen was not rotated
as it should be.  I tried both of these in xorg.conf with the same
result:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "mymonitor"
        Option "Rotate" "Left"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "mymonitor"
        Option "Rotate" "CCW"
EndSection

Any ideas?
