Ahhh, clusterfluffle. What's more, my simple workaround doesn't seem to work when using ioctl. FBIO_PUTVSCREENINFO does not flip rotation for me, unless I tested wrong? Writing to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate flips it. What's up with that? So much for not changing rotation, if I have to change it to detect whether it's flipped or not. Oh well, I guess I'll cheat.

EDIT: I take it back. PUTVSCREENINFO flips it, but GETVSCREENINFO too so after a PUT/GET it was back to the original. I can work with that I guess, although it still introduces a race condition.

EDIT2: 180° rotate hack, thanks for testing...

On the H2O the bezel kills the top 10 pixels. Actually since I opened mine it's the top 9 pixels or so, whenever the Kobo displays all black screen (during update or reset or poweroff) I can see a white stripe at the top.

Not sure why they do that. I want ALL the pixels...
