display rotation

Asked by ed chapman

Nividia controller onasus g74sx, kubuntu 12.04 ls upgraded..Nvidia 1.11.3, shortly after boot and starting the display mgr
screen for some reason rotates on it own to the right for no reason. It happens about 10 seconds after the display manager comes on the screen and does it for no appearent reason. I must stand on my head open a xterm and xrandr --output LVDS-0 --rotate normal

to correct the problem.
I tried to automate this xrandr --output LVDS-0 --rotate normal
 on the start up but no good, what ever happens and makes this display rotate happens after the startup stuff has run.

This happened after an automatic upgrate to X-utilities that happen a few months ago, prior to that this was not a problem.

run:

gksudo /usr/bin/fixscreen; sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/fixscreen

add these 3 lines:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 15
xrandr --output LVDS-0 --rotate normal

Save the new file and close gedit. Then add the /usr/bin/fixscreen as a startup item. At least you have a work around until you get a fix.

Can you help with this problem?
