Bug Description
Ever since I upgraded my laptop from 17.04 to 17.10, my login screen has been upside down, and I can find no way to correct it. I can successfully login. When I first logged in, my desktop was upside down as well. I was able to correct that by typing "xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --rotate normal" and that setting has stuck, but it has had no effect on my login screen. This laptop does not have an orientation sensor, no screen rotation is intended. This is a MSI GS60 6QE laptop, with a GeForce GTX 970M GPU, nVidia driver 384.90 installed. I apologize if there is a simple setting that I have overlooked, but I scoured Google for hours with no luck.

I found a work around for this problem. I added that same xrandr command (xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --rotate normal) near the bottom of my /etc/gdm3/ Init/Default file, just before the "exit 0". This corrected my login screen orientation. I would still consider the fact that my Ubuntu upgrade felt that my screen needed to be rotated 180 degrees a bug, but this work around will suffice.
