Description Henrik Niehaus 2011-05-25 10:30:23 UTC

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.

Best regards,
Henrik
