There appears to be a bug when running low-resolution on WVGA devices (i.e. no HIRES_AWARE flag).

If you try to rotate the screen clockwise or counter clockwise (i.e. from portrait to landscape), the screen completely screws up. What essentially happens is the portrait screen is rotated by 90 degrees cutting off half of the display (i.e. the width and height of the display do not change).

Just to elaborate on this problem, when PocketHAL is initialised with default orientation on a WVGA device everything looks fine (no HIRES_AWARE flag in resource).

If you attempt to initialise PocketHAL with ORIENTATION_ROTATE90CCW or ORIENTATION_ROTATE90CW the screen just flips 90 degrees maintaining its default aspect ratio of 240x400, chopping off the bottom portion of the screen.

NOTE: It just isn't worth the time and effort re-coding existing programs in hi-res and have them run at a lower frame rate than originally intended. Sure modern day PPC's might be able to keep up but many older PPC's can't.

It certainly would be nice to see a fix for this problem.
