No any reverted work needed with current git repository. After I confirmed with hunk just now, he told me this issue is only reproduced on X server version 1.7+ with current git repository. So OLPC users could safely use current git repository which we will release as 2.11.9.
Sorry for my misleading in the previous mail.
So don't care about this. After we fix the issue, the X server 1.7+ will support rotation better.

So please release it today. From what the users give us the feedback, no opposition is got.
We are happy to see a new version driver to be released.
