[Bug 675453] New: Xorg crashes on screen rotation using Gnome Live CD
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675453 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675453#c0 Summary: Xorg crashes on screen rotation using Gnome Live CD Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ryan@rtjmay.ca QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Firefox/3.6.13 I'm using the Gnome live CD on an HP laptop with Radeon 3200HD integrated graphics. This is the first distribution I've tried that has recognized my HDMI monitor by default, Ubuntu and Fedora require the Catalyst drivers. Unfortunately, both my monitor and laptop screen's resolutions were not recognized and defaulted to 1024x768. I was able to use Gnome's Monitor Preferences to properly set the resolutions, but when I tried to rotate my monitor both screens went blank and I was kicked back to GDM. I tried using xrandr from the terminal, but any commands to either display resulted in an error stating that the display was inaccessible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Gnome Monitor Preferences 2. Select a different orientation from Rotation drop-down 3. Click apply Actual Results: The screens go blank and I am returned to GDM. Expected Results: The selected screen's content should be rotated to reflect the new orientation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How do I start a failsafe Xsession? There are no options on the GDM login for selecting the session type.
Sounds bad. Probably a limitation of the LiveCD. It's always the same. Once there are issues a LiveCD becomes uselss, since you can't investigate anything. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 3360x1080 stride 3392 (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 215528K
That one sounds suspicious to me. What exactly are you trying? I mean what's the output of 'xrandr' before rotating and what is/are the xrandr command(s) for rotating? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok. So you're left-rotating the left-handed monitor of a side-by-side dualhead configuration (left: 1920x1080+0+0, right: 1440x900+1902+0)
Yes, but any rotation (left, right or upside-down) on either output causes the crash. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This still results in a crash.
In fact, any rotation command at either native or default (1024x768) resolution causes a crash.
I should clarify, by any rotation command I mean left, right or inverted on either HDMI-0 or LVDS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
