If not, I'm not sure there's any other Xorg driver which supports dynamic rotation without hardware acceleration, but looking at the radeon or intel drivers could be useful at least for the shadow buffer management aspects. You may want to ask on the xorg-devel mailing list at lists.x.org for more suggestions. --=20 Earthling Michel D=C3=A4nzer | http://www.vmware.c= om Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
