Maybe it's because both me and audioDJ have Cinema Displays as well...

I have the 30" Apple display and it doesn't have a rotate function on it either. Must be just for certain displays.

That might confirm the nVidia / ATI issue. From said above it looks like it only works on ati cards as of now. For the 30 inch did you opt for the nVidia FX6800 or the ATI x800?
