[lots of debug information]
[using second terminal to run "xrandr -o right"]
(unity-settings-daemon:11712): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'unity-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 613 error_code 129 request_code 131 (XInputExtension) minor_code 48)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Title:
  unity-settings-daemon crashes using xrandr

Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  turning the screen by running the command 'xrand -o right' turns the
  screen, but it then immediately comes back to normal. Then I get a
  crash message of unity-settings-daemon. This problem also leads to
  non-working key combinations, as CTRL + ALT + T to open a terminal or
  Fn + F1, Fn + F2, Fn + F3, Fn + F4 to control volume/mic or Fn +F5, Fn
  + F6 to control display brightness. In addition I then have problems
  running graphical applications from command line, not finding the
  display and/or returning Mir(!?) errors.

  Unfortunately I failed to create a bug report by submitting the crash
  report, so I'll attach it to this report and hope you can find all the
  necessary information. Feel free to ask for more information or mark
  it as duplicate pointing to an existing bug report.

  Software: Pretty vanilla Ubuntu 15.04
  Hardware: Thinkpad Yoga 12
  I first recognised the bug when using following script: https://github.com/admiralakber/thinkpad-yoga-scripts/issues/8
