olpc-rotate rotates 'Screen', should rotate ouput

Description

When calling xrandr -o [orientation] we are actually rotating the "global screen". This exposes various xorg/xrandr bugs. As we found in #10453, the DPI settings are completely wrong for left and right orientations.

The fix is to use xrandr --output [output] --rotate [orientation].

This is addressed in recent olpc-kbdshim versions.

that helps to fix the DPI not recalculating when we rotate the screen.  It helped the problem in F11 in F14 it causes the DPI bug to be completely eliminated
