Yes, but disabling RandRRotation prevents rotating the screen 90, 180, 
or 270 degrees during server run time.  I've seldom had a reason to turn 
my 67" TV on its side--usually, I find it easier to lay down on my 
couch, instead...  ;)  (And, in many cases, I lay down on the couch even 
when the TV picture is upright, but I guess after a while you get used 
to watching TV sideways.)
