Rotation is now per-monitor; place the "Rotate" option in the monitor
section of the associated output.

Changing the video playback code to *not* sync before uploading a new
image solved this for me (Xorg no longer even shows up in 'top').

The 'right' way to fix this is to block waiting for the hardware to
finish the video texture paint before uploading a new image, the sync
call does this, but it also does much more, and at huge expense.

For movie playback, I don't think this will cause any problems though.
