As for the rotation, there are three possibilities:

1. Gtk+ rotation, it's quite suboptimal :) My friend is making some text
reader, and he found that gtk+ primitive behaves quite differently on
different platforms (he was checking a desktop computer, a notebook, and
his zaurus with pdaxrom).

2. Quite standard extension -- Xrandr as it was mentioned in the other
post, but this is not available (as far as I understood due to the
memory constraints).

3. Not so standard extension. And this seems to become available
eventually.  Most likely not in the first version of the Nokia Internet
Table software 2005 edition (or whatever it's called).
