I rotated my screen, and once I login, it works fine.
But, the greeter (login) screen hasn't got the message that things are rotated 90 degrees. How can I change the rotation of the login screen?

enter image description here

UPDATE:
lock screen is in correct position. I only see this when I boot, or log out.

Add this line to the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file (in the [SeatDefaults] section):

greeter-setup-script=/etc/lightdm/greeter_setup.sh

Then make the file /etc/lightdm/greeter_setup.sh with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash

xrandr -o left

exit 0

Then make it executable with sudo chmod +x /etc/lightdm/greeter_setup.sh. Then reboot.
