What is meant by display rotation support? Changing from portrait to
landscape without a reboot? Or does it mean portrait isn't supported
at all? For me, I use a laptop without external attached sometimes and
can do some Wayland testing. But mostly I connect to a display rotated
to portrait orientation. I don't tend to rotate it landscape though.
Wayland itself has rotation support, but GNOME provides no interface
for it. I have this vague memory that I somehow managed to get a
Wayland session to rotate its displays with xrandr somehow, but I've
never managed to replicate that; apart from that one time (if it really
happened...) I haven't found any way to rotate the display from a
GNOME-on-Wayland session in Fedora. Wayland doesn't really have the
concept of server-level configuration like X, there's no xorg.conf you
can go to and configure rotation the way you can with X; AIUI, in the
Wayland world, that's supposed to happen at the compositor/desktop
level.
