Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Subpixel font rendering uses wrong LCD pixel color order after LCD screen is rotated with RandR.
Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
1. In Preferences-
2. Click on "Details..." button, and ensure the right "Subpixel Order" is selected.
Most LCD screens has "RGB" as the color order.
3. Use the command "xrandr" to rotate the screen to portrait.
4. Look at a web page, or any text. The text are displayed with a "rainbow" effect.
The text are still rendered with sub-pixel order of "RGB", even after the screen is rotated.
XRandR should change the sub-pixel order to the correct current screen rotation, such as VRGB.
Thanks.

Works for me. You didn't specify anything about the hardware you're using, but I tested on an -intel 965GM running hardy beta and it's working fine. If it is still a problem for you, feel free to reopen, but please include your Xorg.0.log.
