http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555915#c0 Summary: Cursor disappears, when rotating screen 180 degrees from previous position Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: seldmail@gmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Cursor disappears, when rotating screen 180 degrees from previous position. Examples: These command combinations will make cursor disappear (first command can be omitted if screen is already in the needed state): 1) xrandr --output LVDS --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --rotate inverted --output VGA --off 2) xrandr --output LVDS --rotate right --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --rotate left --output VGA --off BUT if you rotate by 90 degrees, cursor remains on the screen (works as intended): xrandr --output LVDS --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --rotate right --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --rotate inverted --output VGA --off OR xrandr --output LVDS --rotate right --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --rotate left --output VGA --off Same bug can be provoked by attaching external monitor, which is rotated (it is useful, when your external monitor has a pivoting stand and you use in in pivoted state). This combination will make cursor disappear: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --rotate normal --pos 0x1600 --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --rotate left --pos 0x0 BUT if you set external monitor at first to 'normal' state and only then to rotated state, cursors stays on the screen (as inteded): xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --rotate normal --pos 0x1200 --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --rotate normal --pos 0x0 xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --rotate normal --pos 0x1600 --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --rotate left --pos 0x0 X.Org packages are from default openSUSE 11.2 OSS repository. If cursor disappeared you can make it appear by switching to some virtual terminal and then back (for example: Alt+Ctrl+F1, then back to Alt+Ctrl+F7). This trick works fine with external monitor, but is very cumbersome if tablet PC is in slate mode (keyboard is hidden). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
