We don't test thoroughly every developer drop but we do try them, the level of testing depends on the perceived risk in the update. It would be great to have a decent change log with the OS updates from Apple but we live on Earth in 2012 so that's not possible.
In the meanwhile my rotated screen is black: have to fix this issue quickly! Hopefully it will be possible, it's likely that Apple does not test much with rotation now that they have removed the option from the standard interface and don't sell any displays that can be rotated.

It's too bad you didn't test on your rotated display
but thank you for looking at it now. Some more detailed information for you if it helps: I have a "pluggable" brand at home connected to a DELL 2005FPW. The amazon description of the displaylink card is "Plugable UGA-2K-A USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapter for Multiple Monitors up to 2048x1152 / 1920x1200 Each (DisplayLink DL-195 Chipset)". Sorry, I left it at home so I don't have the part number. However, that one works in standard/landscape mode on the dell display running at 1050x1680. I can even switch to rotate mode, without the other screens getting stuck blue, but the displaylink display shows some weird patterns which looks like a corrupted signal on the screen and the list of resolutions are completely blank in the display preference options (when rotated). When I rotate back to standard mode, I see the resolutions again and I have a working display in standard/landscape mode.
However, my NEC LCD2070 display at the office, doesn't work in any mode, but I am using a different displaylink device. I can't get past the blue screens but my keyboard is probably working, only if there was something I could type into terminal to fix it while it was like that. I thought blue screens only happened with Microsoft
. That display was running at 1200x1600 with the aforementioned device by Encore Electronics "ENMUV rev 2". Oh, and I can connected the ENMUV to my mac without any display plugged into the dvi connector, and it doesn't cause the stuck blue screens. Plugging the DVI connector in afterwards triggers a display detection, then the encore LED turns off - looks like it died and doesn't come back. Plugging and unplugging the DVI connector after that has no effect. I have already uploaded my log files, but I can do some more stuff if it helps. Please let me know!
