The short story is that the current xf86-video-omafb driver can't handle VRFB rotation, even if it's defined on the kernel command line, because the driver assumes that the output framebuffer is contiguous, which is very much not true with VRFB. There's also a problem with the order in which it reads and writes framebuffer parameters, because with the omapfb driver, the frame buffer fixed info will have to be reread after changing rotation settings or pixel type, as the stride can change. I've hacked up enough of the xf86-video-omapfb driver to get X running in the proper orientation with VRFB and rotation defined on the kernel command line, on the OMAP3 EVM (so X runs at 640x480 on the built-in 480x640 LCD). I haven't gotten the XV extension part of the driver working right yet. If anyone wants the ugly results, I'm happy to share, but I doubt I'll have time to clean them up anytime soon.
