[xubuntu-users] Reading monitor EDID data from file?

[Ince, Wilbur]

I set this up for 14.04, I use a monitor in portrait mode as my
primary monitor, so I set the screen to rotated too.

Xubuntu uses lightDM
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM

There are lots of articles with details about changing the startup state:

Once you get it set, it's pretty slick!
