No the LCM only understands video timing that is 480 pixels inside a
HSYNC line and 640 lines per VSYNC, plus blanking.

That's why rotating it in the Glamo is so attractive, the CPU can treat
it as easy 640 x 480 in memory (where the pixels in the 640 are all next
to each other in memory), the Glamo acceleration can operate on it as
640 x 480, and the LCM can continue to treat it as 480 x 640 portrait,
everybody would have been happy.
