This is the dirty part :-)

Proper solution (#0) = implement framebuffer rotation in kernel (in all four directions), enable RANDR in xserver, use X server extensions for rotation ... this may come from nokia once they fix the ui to be resolution independent

dirty solution #1 (harder) implement just 180 degree rotation in video, keypad and touchscreen drivers (i.e. do changes in 3 independent drivers). This would make rotation to be completely transparent to whole system. Question is how to properly rotate uncalibrated raw touchscreen events.

dirty solution #2

implement just video rotation so it it usable only in fullscreen just like pixel doubling, then you can rotate key presses and mouse move and click events in your app.

#2 is easiest, #1 is best hackish solution, #0 should/may/will come from Nokia sooner or later/never
