In truth, I can't remember whether I ever used it with a CRT.  I've not seen 
anything that says it can't be.

I don't think that can be achieved from the gui - other display options are 
greyed out.  I tried to launch it as root, thinking that would allow me to 
change them, but all it did was list the current settings (and other display 
settings).  The package is  /usr/bin/xrandr and the man page says 'The -o 
option is used to specify the orientation of the screen, and can be one 
of "normal inverted left right 0 1 2 3". '
