Bug Description
I have a Dell m3800 running Loki that is fully updated as of today. I use in a Dell U2410 monitor via HDMI. The whole screen can physically rotate, so I also want to set the rotation in Display Settings. Occasionally this works, mostly it does not. For example, if I plug in the monitor, and it shows up as present but disabled, I go to the monitor menu to enable it, and the only rotation option is "None". Then when I enable the monitor, that works fine, and then I have the proper rotation options for that monitor. But when I tried arranging the monitor layout or changing the rotation options, it often does not enable the Apply button. Clicking "Detect Monitors" seems to do nothing.
I then tried `xrandr --output HDMI1 --rotate left`, and that worked perfectly.
I was having issues with sleep/suspend, so I installed bbswitch, turned off the nvidia card, uninstalled xserver-
I should add, I also do not have the nvidia drivers installed:
