Just for kicks I tried something very stupid (i.e. removing the line
that sets NoAccel when RandR rotation is enabled). No spectular crash,
but there seem to be serious framebuffer problems (large black botches
all across the screen) even when the screen isn't rotated. I'll see if
I can nail exactly what's going wrong.
