Landscape is the normal orientation (wide).  What you want is portrait
(tall).  With many drivers, you can use
   Option  "Rotate"  "CW"
in the XF86Config file.  Note, however, that this often involves turning
off the hardware acceleration, since most graphics chips do not support
hardware rotation like that.
