In the SDK it's easy to test how rotating the screen affects Maemo.
Just use 'xrandr' to rotate / resize the Xephyr screen and see how
the SW and gfx works in portrait mode...

If HW doesn't support rotation, all operations need to go through
X shadow framebuffer which can slow down things considerably.
