Thanks Thomas, hello list

just realised that my answer email did not leave my box :(...

i was writing...
well, I am not really interested in the concept of rotation in kms,
but using the phone in landscape mode. I am writing a simple phone
framework (proof of concept) that is based only on fb or drm. I need
landscape mode for a full screen kb. Portrait would do the job, but
all draw operations have to be "rotated". It is not tragical, but I
thought if the phone is supporting it, why not using it...

I tried the settings proposed by you (that differed only in
mode.refresh ! :) from my original one). It works and not.. I did not
set back the values for "portrait" and when starting the second time
the same application, WSOD...

new experience... yes.. I really need the landscape mode as default.
The little framework I write, as mentioned would benefit if stuff
would be rendered by default to landscape. Based on my measurements
copying a 640*480 back buffer to front buffer takes 50msec in "non
rotated" mode, whereas it takes 250msec if I want rotation when
rendering.

If anybody has some "sane" timings for landscape, I would really
appreciate them.. (preferabbly to have the orientation of USB cable
upwards... :) )
