Research direction

Start by reading the display configuration and mode-setting entry points in the driver; the issue does not name files or tests. Determine how the driver exposes display rotation to macOS System Settings, then define completion as being able to rotate a connected display through the Displays settings, including a vertical orientation.

Description

enhancement
What should it do, and why does it matter to you?

Like standard MacOS, you can rotate displays by holding Alt/Option when opening system settings, and clicking on "Displays". But, you don't seem to be able to do this with this driver.

This would be really useful for me as I have a vertical monitor.
