I'm surprised that I haven't had any responses here and even more
surprised that I couldn't find anything in nvidia's knowledgebase or
forums :(

But I got lucky and found something that reminded me that the answer is
the XRandR extension. So for the benefit of anybody else looking for the
answer, just add 'Option "RandRRotation"' to the screen - or perhaps
device - section of your xorg.conf file.

It's a pity the Suse-supplied package and conf file downloaded from
nvidia doesn't figure this out :(

BTW, what's the best way to translate a downloaded edid.bin file into a
human-readable format?

Cheers, Dave
