@fastrobot: sorry, it seems I inadvertently abducted your thread, I was referring to my own program earlier
(which I wrote because your fbswitch inspired me to do so)

It's odd, I thought my workaround worked, but it actually stops working after a reboot.
If you write to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate, the value you write is flipped.
And then the PUT/GET_VINFO syscalls flip too!
But if you never wrote to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate at least once, PUT/GET_VINFO doesn't flip!
Huuuh?
Now how to hunt for the rotate flippery flag that's hidden somewhere in the bowels of this ... module ... thing.
