Rotating the linux console with Intel HD graphics

I've never gotten this to work with Nvidia cards, but with my mac mini with Intel Iris graphics, you can:

/bin/echo "3" > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate

To rotate the display counter-clockwise 90 degrees, which is very helpful if you are trying to restore a system with monitors in portrait mode.

Sun Java memory fun with logstash
