I think it's down to how you're attempting it.  My laptop has a NVidia
chipset, with a widescreen display, and I did manage to make the
internal display rotate.  But it couldn't/wouldn't do it on the fly.

Have you given more details about what you've tried?  I can't say that
I've noticed anything, so far.
