Thanks!  That works.  The console is solved, modulo minor
timing/sync/hpos/vpos glitches.

But X has a problem.  The problem is getting X to start in portrait
mode.  The user wants the whole PC to launch in portrait from console to
X.

Two possibilities exist for xorg.conf with nvidia:

  Option  "RandRRotation" "true"
  # Option  "Rotate" "CCW"   # careful, disables randr module!

The user needs "RandRRotation" so we can't use "Rotate".  Rotate will
start X in portrait mode, but prohibits landscape (by disabling RandR). 
The user needs both modes available.

("Rotate" also introduces ugly video timing/sync problems not present in
RandR, which works beautifully in comparison.)

So how to start X with r-and-r active in portrait mode?

Thanks,
  M.
