** Description changed: + [Impact] + Display rotation does not work when the NVIDIA driver is used. This is caused by a distro patch to xserver which disables it, because the NVIDIA driver had issues in the past. + NVIDIA Graphics driver 375.66 has supported the rotation since Ubuntu 16.04. + + [Test case] + Install nvidia blob, try to rotate with xrandr or the display capplet. + + [Regression potential] + No other distro shipped with such a patch, so there should be minimal risk of regressing anything.
