How can I use multihead rotated via NVIDIA Optimus

My laptop has two video card (Intel+NVIDIA GTX850M) and I use NVIDIA Optimus (in wiki) to make them work fine.

my laptop has a hdmi port and a DVI port and I usually use HDMI which works well , except retation.  I cannot config rotation using kscreen or xrandr , I have tried like"xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 -o right"but it has no output.

Can someone help me ?

(BTW.sorry for my poor english because I'm a college student in china learning English,I do hope you can understand this words...)

my xorg.conf is same to wiki NVIDIA Optimus:

    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
