Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

i use the followin script mapped to a HW button of a "x200 tablet" to change from landscape mode to portrait mode:

>#!/bin/bash
>if [ `xsetwacom --get "Serial Wacom Tablet stylus" Rotate` = "NONE" ]; then
> xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet stylus" Rotate CCW
> xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate CCW
> xrandr -o right
>else
> xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet stylus" Rotate NONE
> xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate NONE
> xrandr -o normal
>fi

In landscape mode (normal mode the screen works as usual), but in portrait mode the screen have a big black field on top of desktop, and dont show full width.
