My notebook (ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TP401CA) is designed to work with the
screen rotated at any angle . gdm supports this feature well: when the screen is rotated more than 90 degrees the screen image flips over. But after logging in when gnome shell takes control over the screen auto-rotation will stop working and the screen image won't respond to rotations.
