Display panel icon does not show rotation options

[Gavin Hamill]

Ubuntu 9.04

System -> Preferences -> Display -> 'Show displays in panel' is ticked.

When I log in, clicking this panel icon shows 'Laptop 12" - Rotation not supported' despite the fact that 'xrandr' shows that roatation is indeed supported:

gdh@gdh-x60s:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 2048 x 768
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 246mm x 185mm
   1024x768 50.0 + 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0* 40.0

'xrandr -o 1' does indeed rotate the display by 90 degrees :)

I have an IBM Thinkpad X60s.

I'm able to rotate the screen from gnome-display-properties but the applet shows "Rotation not supported"

Before upgrade you could rotate the screen from the display applet without any confirmation question, and clicking the display applet would bring the screen to the original orientation..

xrandr still works as well

There are no options to rotate the display. I use Ubuntu 9.10 - i386, the VGA is : nVidia Corporation Device 0a6a (rev a2) and 201002-5346 2.6.31-19-generic #56 kernel. It didn't work before the upgrade either.
