ChangeDisplaySettingsEx Windows API

What can't this be done?

We have developed an industrial robotic application in which the monitors are physically rotated.  I am trying to change the screen orientation to match and all of the machines with ATI Radeon HD video cards will not accept the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx in the Windows API.  I have Googled this and it seems to be quite a common question, however, no one has answered as to why this can't be done with the Windows API.

We have tried iRotate on these machines and every one of them change the screen orientation with iRototate.  So I know this can be done just need some one to point me in the right direction as to how. 

Does ATI have its own API?

It really bothers me that this question has been asked multiple times through this forum and not one post has a reply.  This is a simple Windows API call that works with all other video drivers except for AMD/ATI.  It seems that the AMD/ATI tech support is a joke especially since this forum is touted as part of their tech support.  Is anyone at ATI/AMD reading these posts?
