Does it on the Openmoko images?

Thanks for helping out! If you want me to hand out TODOs, here is what
comes to my mind:
 * Someone[1] said that you can enable xrandr for the framebuffer, but
the result was broken. You can investigate if this can be fixed somehow.
 * Based on the Debian sources at
http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/xglamo-beta/, try to compile it with
the tslib driver. Maybe Jan[2] can give you hints there.
 * Talk to the developers of the Xglamo and see if they can be helped
with creating a glamo driver module, or if they are not interested, find
how to do it and do it :-)

I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate your work,
Joachim

„with Option "RandRRotation" "on" you can change the orientation with
xrandr -o left but the screen wacks out, i assume cause x doesn't know
how to set the frequency or something in portrait mode in the default
Debian install. I haven't played with the xorg file enough yet to figure
out how to fix that.“
