Bug#555647: xrandr -o left leaves xdm, after I logout, unresponsive, with no login prompt

[Dirk Griesbach <spamthis@freenet.de>]

Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.6+1
Followup-For: Bug #555647


Hi,

It's still existent. If I exit Xfce4 with a rotated screen (which
rotation doesn't matter as long as rotation != normal) back to xdm, the
background image is visible and will get the normal orientation but the
mouse pointer has still the rotated orientation and it looks like xdm
would be running 'behind' the background image. At least it looks like
this, because if I enter my credentials (entering other stuff doesn't
trigger anything), xdm tries to start Xfce4, fails, restarts and there
it is: a xdm with normal oriention.

Regards,
Dirk
