Bug#791644: xserver-xorg-video-modesetting doesn't support rotation



Package: xserver-xorg-video-modesetting
Version: 0.9.0-1

There is a patch in freedesktop git for the modesetting video driver,
since the released version does not support rotation.  This lead to
quite a bit of frustration over here in that when you rotate via xrandr,
the screen goes blank.  It's the only patch in their git past the 0.9.0
release.  It would be wonderful if this could be added to the Jessie
package.

The xorg 1.17 package in jessie+1 is unaffected because modesetting has
moved into the server core (and does support rotation)
