Resolution is already covered by bug 1196239. So making this bug just about rotation.

Also note: rotation probably requires surface resizing to be implemented first. Ideally...

Actually, no. Screen rotation can be implemented quite separately to surface resizing.

It's only that screen rotation won't look quite right for maximized/fullscreen surfaces till we have resizing.

In terms of graphics and mir_demo_server_shell, this works and has done since Mir 0.1.5. However mouse rotation is not yet implemented so I'll leave it open.

Note that we only need mouse (relative motion device) rotation support implemented to complete this. Touch screens are a different issue and will get their own rotation support later (RAOF).

Since Andreas added mouse-movement rotation in Mir 0.1.7 I'm happy to declare this done. For all intensive purposes it works really well now.

Other changes related to rotating the cursor image are coming soon.

No longer related to XMir (1.0) so invalid for xorg.
