If the video split is done properly then doing screen rotation on top of it should be easy. I would like to see that as well. However, I am unsure as to how this would be configured. In my current attempt to get this into the video mode parser without adding too much stuff I have added a small bit that extracts the direction from a few letters that are in front of the size. ie 800x600x32 gives 800x600 resolution in 32bpp E800x600 or MF800x600x16 gives 800x600 resolution with screen in another direction. This should work but I am not sure this would a nice way to specify the screen direction for the end user. What is the state of graphics on EFI?
