 When calling xrandr -o [orientation] we are actually rotating the "global
 screen". This exposes various xorg/xrandr bugs. As we found in #10453, the
 DPI settings are completely wrong for left and right orientations.

 The fix is to use xrandr --output [output] --rotate [orientation].

 This is addressed in recent olpc-kbdshim versions.
