Rotate extension

[Chris Debenham]

It works with Xvesa but currently I can only get vesafb to 1024x768 as 
it won't let any of the 1400x1050 modes work.
This means I need to get it working with Xvesa but so far no luck (I'm 
using it at 16bit, but it failed at 8bit as well)

Any suggestions on what to try next.
