Check your xorg log. You need to have acceleration enabled to use rotation.

My Xorg.0.log says:

(II) RADEONHD: version 1.3.0, built from dist of git branch master, commit 8cbff [...] (**) RADEONHD(0): Option "AccelMethod" "exa" (**) RADEONHD(0): Option "DRI" "true" (**) RADEONHD(0): Selected EXA 2D acceleration.

However, after you've stressed that the acceleration must be enabled I double checked and found the following as well:

(WW) RADEONHD(0): Failed to initalize EXA; disabling acceleration.

So I build the driver from git but that did not help at all. Only the version changed:

(II) RADEONHD: version 1.3.0, built from git branch master, commit 79a0ab2f

I tried disabling Composite but this did not help at all. Also, note that I'm using dual-head setup. -- Best regards, _ _ .o. | Liege of Serenely Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=./ `o ..o | Computer Science, Michał "mina86" Nazarewicz (o o) ooo +---[mina86@mina86.com]---[mina86@jabber.org]---ooO--(_)--Ooo-- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Check your xorg log and dmesg to see why acceleration failed. Most likely you have the fglrx kernel module loaded or you have kms enabled in the radeon drm which only works with radeon.

Thanks! I'd never guess to check dmesg. It turns out I was lacking firmware. So finally, after a few days of struggle, I'm getting somewhere. However, I'm experiencing some unpleasant blinking and after turning acceleration on. This happens both on git/master version as well as the one bundled with Debian (commit 8cbff7bf). Also, I'm still heaving problems setting dual head setup where both screens are rotated. I've tried playing with xrandr but couldn't get it to work and after adding Option "Rotate" "left" to "Monitor" of xorg.conf the screens just went black and there was no reaction to keyboard. -- Best regards, _ _ .o. | Liege of Serenely Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=./ `o ..o | Computer Science, Michał "mina86" Nazarewicz (o o) ooo +---[mina86@mina86.com]---[mina86@jabber.org]---ooO--(_)--Ooo-- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
