The problem is the same as with DVI output: the output driver needs
to be told that the document has a non-standard shape:
xelatex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -l" file
xelatex -output-driver="xdv2pdf -p :landscape" file
The latter does not work, which is a pity. You have to explicitly
tell xdv2pdf also the paper size, for example:
xelatex -output-driver="xdv2pdf -p a4:landscape" file
This makes it very complicated to work with AUCTeX or TeXShop because
you have to provide dozens of commands or engine files to be prepared
for each paper size and mode ...
Using
\usepackage[landscape]{geometry}
is a workaround that even works with the default settings of the
output-drivers. TeXShop and AUCTeX should provide "macros" to insert
this line!
