Bug 322653

I have a multi-monitor setup and I recently noticed that I was affected by bug #183143. I looked into some of the work-arounds posted there, but while doing so I noticed that the xrandr line written into krandrrc for the rotated screen is wrong (i.e., xrandr does not accept it).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a multi-monitor setup;
2. Rotate one of the screens;
3. Save the configuration as default;
4. Examine the StartupCommands line in ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc, and isolate the command for the rotated screen.
Actual Results:  
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --pos 1920x0 --mode 1200x1920 --rotate left --refresh 59.9502

Expected Results:  
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --pos 1920x0 --mode 1920x1200 --rotate left --refresh 59.9502

If you’re wondering what the difference is, it’s the mode. 

$ xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --pos 1920x0 --mode 1200x1920 --rotate left --refresh 59.9502
xrandr: cannot find mode 1200x1920

For some reason whoever generates the krandrrc rotates the mode according to the screen rotation. Apparently xrandr wants to set the mode in unrotated coordinates, which sort of makes sense. (Presumably the mode is needed to configure the data link to the screen, which doesn’t care if the image is rotated. I’m not sure where those refresh values come from, xrandr shows 60.0.)

This is the configuration I’m supposed to have:
