Issue discription
1# There 2 monitors connected to the graphic card, given one monitor  is DFP1, another is CRT1. 

2#  Currently output on the monitors is Clone mode.

3#   Steps to Reproduce, input below command in consol.
a. aticonfig --initial -f
b. startx
c. xrandr --output DFP1 --rotate right  (or: xrandr --output DFP1 --rotate left)

4# Actual result: the screen corruption is seen on the monitors(DFP1 and CRT1) as attached picture(screen corruption .png). Then applying "xrandr --output DFP1 --rotate normal" or "xrandr --output DFP1 --rotate inverted", the display is ok on the monitors.

5#  there is no the issue while inputing below command in consol.
a. aticonfig --initial -f
b. startx
c. xrandr --output CRT1 --rotate right  (or: xrandr --output CRT1 --rotate left)
d. xrandr --output DFP1 --rotate right (or: xrandr --output DFP1 --rotate left)
thus, the display is ok on the monitors too.

6#  while Gnome Desktop is switched in OpenSUse12.1, do the same test, there is no the issue.

7# for Intel / Ncidia graphic card, there is the same issue in KDE desktop.

8# for OpenSuse11.4 KDE DeskTop, there is the same issue too.

No response, closing as unsupported as it is an old KDE4 era bug.
