I think for me the framebuffer rotation is enough now. I have it rotated now 
after appending omapfb.rotate=1 omapfb.vrfb=y to kernel cmd line. But still i 
havent figured out two things:
1/ how to rotate the framebuffer on the fly? I tried:
	echo "1" > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate
according to this [1] but it does not work for me.
2/ i need to rotate also the touchscreen inputs. X server has options for it 
[2], but i would like to play some SDL games on direct framebuffer. I tried 
e.g. dosbox, scummvm, abuse - they all work great but the touchscreen needs to 
swap x and y.
You can try e.g:
	export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon
	apt-get install scummvm
	scummvm
