There is a bug in xorg-server 1.9.5, which makes it impossible to change the screen orientation with xrandr. I didn't find a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org. See [1] for more details. There is also a patch, which solves the problem at [2]. I have tested the patch with a modified ebuild and it works for me. Perhaps you could incorporate this patch in an 1.9.5-r1, so that other users don't run into this problem.
