Public bug reported:
nvidia-settings no longer has a rotation entry because the driver now
supports the relevant version of RandR to allow the system tools to do
it itself.
However, once randr is set via the system tools, nvidia-settings "X
Server Display Configuration" no longer accurately reflects the current
configuration of the system and thus cannot be used effectively.
Further, tools like the gnome-control-center's options for "wacom
graphics tablet" appear to rely on the same info that nvidia-settings is
to determine the display layout, and thus fail to properly configure
their geometry.
