[SOLVED] Rotate only one screen

I have two monitors, and one is in portrait. I would like to be able to rotate one of the X screens so this setup makes sense. I feel like I've tryed everything, but nothing seems to be able to rotate it at all, let alone one screen. Here's my current xorg.conf:

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings:  version 304.64  (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-12)  Tue Oct 30 12:04:34 PDT 2012

    EndSubSection
EndSection

Also, this happens when I run xranr, and I can't seem to find anything online about it.

RANDR extension missing

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Rotate only one screen

Get rid of xorg.conf, reboot, then run xrandr.. xorg.conf hasn't been needed in quite a while, and it might interfere with xrandr.

Re: [SOLVED] Rotate only one screen

I found nvidia-xconfig to be pretty good for setting up the displays here. I don't think xrandr works with the nvidia blob so it might be a better option.

Ok, so now I try to run this and it just shows me the help. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have a 1920x1080 monitor on the left in landscape connected to the first DVI port on my first video card, and another 1920x1080 monitor on the right in portrait connected to HDMI on my second video card.

xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x420 --ouput HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate right --pos 1920x0

Here's my xrandr --prop:

  % xrandr --prop                                                        !1535

This trys to make an xorg.conf, but I'm under the impression that that's a bad idea?

EDIT: I fixed it with this xrandr command:

xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --pos 0x420 --ouput HDMI-0 --rotate right --pos 1920x0

and changing my monitors to being plugged into the same card.

Re: [SOLVED] Rotate only one screen

I don't know if it is a bad idea or not but X seems happy enough. From the log

[506295.382] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[506295.411] (==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
