Xrandr cant rotate screen with nvidia properietary/tested driver

[Teodor Kulej]

When using nvidia display driver (proprietary,tested; nvidia-367.57) xrandr can't rotate the display. I use three displays (laptop + 2 external) with a pivot, being unable to rotate is a pain. The problem doesn't occur with intel driver. Not sure if the problem occurs with the noveau. Not sure if problem occurs with prop.untested nvidia 340.98

Using linked walkaround doesn't solve the problem.

GPU is Quadro K1100M
