It seems that it may....
Option "RandRRotation" "boolean"
Enable rotation support for the XRandR extension. This allows use of the
XRandR X server extension for configuring the screen orientation through
rotation. This feature is supported on GeForce2 or better hardware using
depth 24. This requires an X.Org X 6.8.1 or newer X server. This feature
does not work with hardware overlays, and emulated overlays will be used
instead at a substantial performance penalty. See Appendix U for
details.
Default: off.
