In gutsy, I have overcome this problem by using the driver from
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org.  The following steps were used to
solve the issue, until it is fixed in a gutsy package or until hardy
comes out.

Install necessary dependencies for building the driver:

sudo apt-get install git-core autoreconf autoconf automake automake-1.9
automake1.9 libtool xserver-xorg-dev pkg-config x11proto-xinerama-dev
x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-render-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-xext-
dec x11proto-render-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-xext-dev libxvmc-dev
x11proto-xf86dri-dev libgl1-mesa-dev x11proto-gl-dev

Download the intel driver:

cd /tmp
git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel

Compile the driver:

cd /tmp/xf86-video-intel
sh autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Copy the driver into the appropriate location:

sudo cp /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so.orig
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

Logout and restart the X server.

Xrandr rotation should be working great now.

Keep in mind this is a temporary solution, but if you are anxious for
this to work on gutsy this is a band aid that will hold you over.

Thanks,

Kyle
