Description: [xorg-server] When executing i3 via startx, my session immediately crashes. Xrandr runs when starting i3 and uses the --rotate left option. When removing the Xrandr command from my i3 config, X starts as usual. I can run the Xrandr command for display positioning without error but the X session crashes once I place the --rotate left option into my command.


Additional info:
* xorg-server 21.1.1-2
* GPU: AMD R9 270x
* See file attached for a report with logs. This is taken from my post on the Forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=271243
* Apologies in advance if this is the improper way to attach a report.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a session in X
2. Execute an Xrandr command with argument --rotate left on any existing and active display

We are using xorg-server 21.1.1-3 for some time now. Your system is not up to date.
There's also no need to have all xf86-video- drivers installed. Only use the one your really use.

My apologies, I had erroneously listed the downgraded package. This bug occurs with 21.1.1-3 and I cannot seem to edit my report. I have closed this and re-opened a new task with the fixed text.
