Problem:
According to the SMDK2410 display driver source code you can enable rotation
support by defining "ROTATE". Unfortunately this did not have any effect on
my "tiny kernel" image with touch/mouse/lcd support that launches the
default "hello world" application from eVC on startup. Then I discovered
that I needed to add the "angle" registry key entry under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation" telling how the screen should be
rotated. Again, without effect. Then I concluded from looking at other
display drivers that the display driver itself should retrieve this "angle"
entry from the registry and use it, which the SMDK2410 display driver does
not, so I added the necessary code. On my 3rd attempt the mouse pointer was
rotated but my hello world application was not. To be more exact, the hello
world application was only partly drawn, the bottom 80? (320-240) or so
scanlines were black/missing.

Question:
Can anyone confirm that the SMDK2410 display driver in rotation mode work as
desribed? Am I doing something wrong?
