Title:
  black screen (but with cursor) after rotating by 180 degrees

Status in x11-xserver-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I use `xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate inverted` to rotate the contents
  of my screen by 180 degrees as part of my thinkpad-scripts. This has
  worked well until Kubuntu 14.10. Now it still works when I have an
  external screen (DP2) attached.

  I just tried it out now without an external screen attached. The
  screen turns black, but I can still see the mouse cursor. The cursor
  also changes according to the program that it is on, one just does not
  see the program. I can also click and it will have some effect.

  To see the screen again, I do [Ctrl][Alt][F1] and then
  [Ctrl][Alt][F7]. Somebody else has the same ThinkPad X220 with Ubuntu
  (not sure the version, though) but uses Unity. He has the exact same
  problem, so this is not bound to KDE or Unity, but fundamental to
  something that `xrandr` does.
