[Bug 1889962] Re: kubuntu 20.04.1 live qa-test, screen alignment made display unusable

[Chris Guiver]

** Description changed:

- I'll add details shortly (on more usable box)
+ Kubuntu 20.04.1 daily QA-test on 
+ dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
+ 
+ When I adjusted display.settings to have landscape+portrait, the
+ landscape display became unreadable, and I obviously made mistake as
+ portrait was upside-down.. GUI isn't usable as menu is on unusable
+ display
+ 
+ this box appears to have IDENTICAL files in /var/crash reported in
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1889960 but
+ are likely unrelated.  They were `ubuntu-bug` reported
+ 
+ This will be filed against INCORRECT package sorry; I suspect it's
+ radeon related..
+ 
+ Picture of screens 
+ https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPcjlzMvHtKIQVmi4QLOaY1_yLPbhFXbYFA32iLRCIrT2NTwvY-EpOEh54vwF8g2A?key=M2gtdTN4YjZ2c3RLVWJPMXQ2YXliZ3JMMG1PSW9R 
+ 
+ Much of the time the image shown on my-left display was changing (lower
+ panel portion especially, also I think where cursor would be on
+ terminal), about 3 changes per second, but at times it became static for
+ awhile.
