X Option "Rotate" "CW" does not work in newer Nvidia drivers #31

Newer Nvidia drivers has deprecated support to "Option "rotate"" and the X "RandRRotation" which enables the RANDR is also gone. We need to include a script configuration support to newer nvidia drivers for X.

Based in the above release notes you may need to add the metamodes option to the xorg.conf. The following configuration is for my "VGA-0" so you may need to replace to use your device, for example "HDMI-0".

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Screen"
    Option "metamodes" "VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select {Rotation=keft}"
EndSection
