Using the proprietary NVIDIA driver (384.59), I can't rotate a screen. It works with the Intel drivers for the integrated graphics instead the Optimus/Prime. The control panel only offers the rotation "normal" and xrandr fails like this:
xrandr --output VGA-1-1 --rotate left
xrandr: output VGA-1-1 cannot use rotation "left" reflection "none"
xorg.conf has the "Device" section with Option "RandRRotation" "true" added as suggested here, but no avail.
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0"
Option "ConstrainCursor" "off"
Option "RandRRotation" "true"
EndSection

The solution comes with the xorg-server package update from today.
