I have just installed KUbuntu 12.10, and I am attempting to rotate my monitor 90 deg to the left.
When I add the option to rotate, the monitor seems to ignore the directive.
I'm currently using dual

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1)
and NVidia driver version 310
My xorg.conf is as follows:

Edit:
If I delete the xorg.conf and reboot, I am able to rotate my monitor, however, my third monitor is not recognized:
