Unable to rotate screen
I am a complete beginner so please be gentle. I have just started to use Ubuntu 7.1, Gutsy Gibbon and I cannot rotate my screen at all. When I press the 'ROTATE' button the screen goes black for a few seconds, then the desktop appears. There is nothing but the background on the desktop, no panels or icons, no mouse pointer, nothing but background. I have to switch the computer off with the power switch. When I restart the computer everything is normal but I still cannot rotate the screen, the same thing happens again. I have a Radeon x300 graphics card and a viewsonic VP2030b 20 inch screen with native resolution of 1600 x1200. I can change the resolution on its own without problem. I have tried using the proprietary drivers but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help please?
