Well, i a mnot 100% sure, but i think that only the R(esize) part of
RandR made it into 4.3.0, so rotation is not supported upstream. Also,
rotation done in an earlier way by divers drivers got broken also by the
RandR, so i guess you cannot rotate anything with 4.3.0.
BTW, i have a gnome-randr-applet package ready since a long time, but
which couldn't go into unstable because of the missing 4.3.0, i guess i
can upload it to experimental now, err, when the -pre package has gotten
out of the new queue that is.
Anyway, this applet is nice to change size from the gnome panel, and can
be found in the meantime under :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/xfree86/
or the apt-source :
deb http://people.debian.org/~luther/xfree86/ ./
Or something such. x86 only though, so people of other arches would need
to get the source and build their own packages.
