Bug Description

As described above. I've booted my convertible laptop in tent mode. After the login the screen orinetation is getting wrong. Top is on the bottom but the control-orinetation (mouse and touch-screen) is the right one. So if I for example want to open the Gnome Shell I have to click in the bottom left corner, but the button is shown in the top right corner. Even if I turn back the screen in "normal" mode the roientation keeps to be wrong.
This bug doesn't appear in a wayland session.

What's the output of that command? "sudo systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy.service; G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all sudo /usr/sbin/iio-sensor-proxy"?

The command doesn't produce any output. The process doesn't seem to end.

I'm guessing it's the shell that needs to poll for the current orientation at startup, because there might not be any events signifying a change in orientation.
