Public bug reported:

Running with the proprietary nvidia drivers in an optimus config works,
but enabling reflection or rotation on the intel screen causes a black
screen to appear.

[Impact]
 * Causes a black screen if rotation or reflection is enabled.

[Test Case]
 * Run xrandr --output SOMEOUTPUT --rotation left
    - Expected: Screen should rotate, or the call should fail.
    - Bad behavior: Succeeds, but causes a black screen.

[Regression Potential]
 * The affected codepaths have reflection and rotation disabled for gpu 
screens. Another fix could be fixing reflection/rotation, but that will be more 
involved and likely require driver fixes.

[Other Info]
 * This issue is copied from

and wily.
