Neat.  One machine requires fbdev another cannot use it.  Go figure.

Hmm.  That shouldn't happen. What does xdpyinfo say at that point?  Maybe 
I broke something recently, but it used to work fine.

You need set only the "normal" mode; RandR will (or at least should) 
automatically adjust the screen size when it rotates.  I know I haven't 
tested starting the server in rotated mode for a while, so that might be 
broken.  But:

	$ Xsmi -screen 1024x768x16 &
	$ xrandr -o left

should work.

Thanks for playing with this stuff.

Oh -- are you using 'xfixes_2_branch' or HEAD?  I don't recall the state 
of HEAD, but I was pretty sure it was functional when I branched last 
week.  There have been a few changes since branching, it might be worth 
trying the branch to see if things change.
