I have just tried it out with 1.7.5.  I don't get the black screen,
but I don't get rotation either.  I think maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Here is my xorg.conf file:

Here is my X log:

It has these errors:

  (EE) GEODE(0): Couldn't allocate the shadow memory for rotation
  (EE) GEODE(0):  You need 0x300000 bytes, but only 0x0 bytes are available

Just to confirm, here is the patch I'm using:

  http://pastebin.com/y1TinSXd

I have tried setting rotation using xrandr -o.  xrandr -o 2 gives me this error:

$ xrandr -o 2
Failed to change the screen configuration!

xrandr -o 2 is ok.

$ xrandr -o 0
$

Can anyone make any suggestions please?

Thanks,

Mitch.
