Public bug reported:
Since I upgraded from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 my multi monitor setup is
broken. I put the screens into the shape of an H. The center screen is
in landscape and to each side one screen in portrait/pivot orientation.
I expected to rotate the virtual screens of the outer monitors into
portrait mode as it was possible before.
Instead the smallest (middle) screen gets scaled extremely in, the
virtual screens overlap and just everything about the monitor setup
breaks.
The resolutions are from left to right 1440p, 1080p, 2160p.
I could configure the outer screens to portrait mode over Nvidia X Server, but
it doesn't survive a reboot. Also it breaks if I touch the screens over the
gnome-control-center.
