This issue is still existing on Matira testing by Scott.

[Maciej Kisielewski (kissiel)]

I was able to reproduce it on one VM and one physical system.

Calling xrandr dbus API yields no errors, and other methods (i.e. ApplyConfiguration, VideoModeSwitch) are working.

IDK why xrandr ignores the rotation ones.

My advice would be to use xrandr directly instead.
e.g. `xrandr -o 1`

[Jerry Kao (jerry.kao)]

I hit this issue on Stella hardware 201712-25995. Rotate by display setting and 'xrandr -o 1' both work.

@Nara, Please help to verified kissiel's fix from https://code.launchpad.net/~kissiel/plainbox-provider-checkbox/+git/plainbox-provider-checkbox/+merge/341008 on 201712-25995.

[Nara Huang (narahuang)]

I manually change the /usr/share/plainbox-provider-checkbox/units/graphics/jobs.pxu and change the command from rotation_test_using_dbus to rotation_test, as
https://code.launchpad.net/~kissiel/plainbox-provider-checkbox/+git/plainbox-provider-checkbox/+merge/341008 .

The rotation test can be completed successfully.
