...and if you rotate or flip the screen using xrandr, all hardware 
acceleration goes bye-bye.  Also, unless you have the line
   Option "RandRRotation" "1"
...in the Device section of your xorg.conf , rotation at runtime *will 
not work*.  This option is not in the man page for xorg.conf and is not 
mentioned in Xorg docs AFAICT.  So Simon's right, but he left out a 
couple of important details.
