Bug Description

[Impact]
 * The fix for bug #1308515 prevents rotation from being used.
 * Rotation support should be added to the intel driver to maintain feature parity when optimus is used vs when not in use.

[Test Case]
 * Run xrandr --output SOMEOUTPUT --rotation left
    - Expected: Screen should rotate.
    - Bad behavior: Succeeds, but causes a black screen. OR the call fails, and screen is not rotated.

[Regression Potential]
 * Will probably regress when modesetting is used, a separate patch might be needed to disable transforms on modesetting. Will have to be tested.

[Other Info]

And they do fix this issue.

I've verified xorg-server rotation works correctly. On utopic I had issues with rotation, when using xrandr --output HDMI1 --rotate left in normal mode. Bisecting it shows it was caused by introducing dri3 support, and cherry picking some upstream patches fixed it. The trusty patches to xxv-intel don't introduce dri3 support so it's unaffected by the hang I've discovered.

But on trusty with those patches rotation works for me as it should. :)
