Oh good question, at the moment no, and I probably need to block
rotation on slaves
until it is I suppose.

The problem with transforms at least for the intel LVDS slaved to the
nvidia, is the nvidia
pcopy engine can't do transforms, and we definitely want to use it for
copies if we can.

For USB devices it should be a lot easier to hook onto the rotate
code, if still a bit messy.
