Description:

When RandR 1.1 rotation is enabled it compares the rotated screen dimensions to the unrotated limits, which causes 90- and 270-degree rotation to fail unless your screen happens to be square:

Upstream appears to have a patch:

Hey guys :) I am back from compiling my new xorg-server, and so far so good. Playing videos with mplayer works and so does browsing YouTube == happy Tim.

This .tar file contains a modified PKGBUILD, a patch for the current PKGBUILD in abs and a copy of the patch.
