New Check my second link
xrandr has no support for rotate in 4.4.0.
I've tried it anyway and get an error:

Just did my daily 'apt-get upgrade' though. Looks like all of X is being upgraded today. Wonder what'll happen.

New Re: Check my second link
The extension has to be enabled to work - either in the XF86Config file or as a switch when starting the X server.

You can see which extensions are loaded by using the xdpyinfo command in an Xterm.
-drl
New It is enabled
I even have the applet on my panel, and it works for resolution. Just not for rotation.

New xrandr

4.3 and above.

New Look again at the link above
Rotation is not supported in 4.4.

I *do* have randr installed.

randr is loading properly.

It does resolution changes without restarting X.

It doesn't do rotation.

New Re: Look again at the link above
On my system (4.3) xrandr -o 1 craps out - likely the X server needs to be recompiled.
