GOT IT! FINALLY! Thank you *very* much.
Here's what I did:
rm xorg.cong, <ctrl><alt><bkspc>
Logged in, and tried to control the monitors with the display app, and hit
apply several times... and it did nothing.
Then, reading sideways <g>, I opened an xterm, and did:
xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --rotate left --right-of DisplayPort-1
--output DisplayPort-1 --rotate left
And we got there... *but* it didn't save the whole thing, just part, I
guess: another <ctl><alt><bkspc> and it was sideways again, but you
*could* move the cursor all over. He logged in, and using the display app,
rotated the windows... and this time, when he hit apply, it did it, and
confirmed.
My last question: how do we keep his configuration a) between logins, and
b) between system reboots? What is the preferred method?
