Xorg log

Running Xorg (server 1.4.2 intel 2.4.2) on NetBSD, i945GM chipset.

doing 

xrandr --orientation x

for x other than 0 the screen displays garbage (some repeated noisy image of one part of the screen).

however, since I switched to XAA from the default EXA because of other breakage rotation now works fine.

Hi Michal,

Thanks for the report. Again, as in the previous bug, any change with 2.8.0 (which uses UXA)?

I am not running NetBSD anymore but there was similar problem on Linux.

Setting rotation with --orientation would not work but setting --rotate for the output worked.

That's what I am using for UXA, too.

Is this still valid? I have no problem with "xrandr --orientation left" in Linux with kernel 2.6.32, xserver 7.2, and intel 2.9. Of course, "--orientation" is a xrandr 1.0 command, which doesn't allow to specify the output, and it works much better to use the "--rotate" option.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, the newer --rotate option which allows per-output changes is preferred.

And yes, both --rotate and --orientation are working for me as well.

So I'm closing this bug as fixed.
