xf86-video-intel-2.1.1 screen rotation

I've just compiled/installed X11R7.3 and I'm trying to get the intel
driver to rotate the screen 180 degrees when X starts.  Once X is
running I can rotate the screen via the command line with "xrandr -o 2"
but I haven't found a way to do this using xorg.conf.  Here's my current
xorg.conf file...

---------------------------- start ----------------------------
Section "ServerLayout"

Here's a snippet from my Xorg.0.log file...
---------------------------- start ----------------------------
(II) intel(0): Output configuration:
(II) intel(0):   Pipe A is off
(II) intel(0):   Display plane A is now disabled and connected to pipe
A.
(II) intel(0):   Pipe B is on
(II) intel(0):   Display plane B is now enabled and connected to pipe B.
(II) intel(0):   Output VGA is connected to pipe none
(II) intel(0):   Output LVDS is connected to pipe B
(II) intel(0):   Output TV is connected to pipe none
(II) intel(0): Set up textured video
(II) intel(0): direct rendering: Not available
(II) intel(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled
message.
(WW) intel(0): Option "Rotate" is not used
(--) RandR disabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
---------------------------- end -----------------------------

Is what I'm attempting here even possible, or is rotation only possible
via xrandr?  Thanks in advance...
