I just got a second laptop that allowed me to do this Backtracing.
Never did it before so plz tell me if i did something wrong.

Sick machine:
boots up, i rotate the screen.

remote machine:
loggin into sick machine, starting gdb:
(gdb) attach 5432
Attaching to program: /usr/bin/Xorg, process 5432
.
.
.
(gdb) cont
Continuing.

sick machine:
i start playing a video with the display being rotated, totem is using xv.

Now the display shows a solid color but i can hear the sound of the video.
The color seems to be random, currently its all purple, last time it was all 
blue and i remember seeing all white.
Playing the video does not give any new output in gdb, it still shows:

(gdb) cont
Continuing.

Now i enter ctrl+c in gdb to abort Xorg (im not sure why ctrl+c in gdb aborts 
xorg on the sick machine).
The output of gdb is 
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
[Switching to Thread 0xb7c8aa30 (LWP 5432)]
0xb7fa9410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
 
but the video keeps playing for a couple of seconds until it stops.

The screen is still all purple.
Hitting ctrl+alt+backspace does not change that and i have to reboot the 
machine.
