I have installed xrandr on my laptop which has pivot screen. however i am only able to get this to work for increasing/decreasing screen resolutions and not for changing layout from "landscape" to "portrait" or reversing/reflecting x or y axis.

OTOH I have really not goone deeper in to error messages but they are reproduced below. BTW right now I am running Ubuntu7.04 but earlier this was loaded with Debian Etch with same results.
