[Bug 1390587] [NEW] 'xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate inverted' causes screen splitting and glitches

 

Public bug reported:

The upper half of the screen flickers, and is inverted, the bottom half is not inverted. 
After setting the screen to normal, it appears normal except for my mouse pointer being followed by an upside down mouse pointer.
