I've verified xorg-server rotation works correctly. On utopic I had issues with rotation, when using xrandr --output HDMI1 --rotate left in normal mode. Bisecting it shows it was caused by introducing dri3 support, and cherry picking some upstream patches fixed it. The trusty patches to xxv-intel don't introduce dri3 support so it's unaffected by the hang I've discovered.
But on trusty with those patches rotation works for me as it should. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386620 Title: re-enable rotation for the intel driver in optimus mode Status in HWE Next Project: New Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in OEM Priority Project trusty series: New Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xorg-server” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in “xorg-server” source package in Utopic: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Utopic: Fix Released Status in “xorg-server” source package in Vivid: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Vivid: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] * The fix for bug #1308515 prevents rotation from being used. * Rotation support should be added to the intel driver to maintain feature parity when optimus is used vs when not in use. [Test Case] * Run xrandr --output SOMEOUTPUT --rotation left - Expected: Screen should rotate. - Bad behavior: Succeeds, but causes a black screen. OR the call fails, and screen is not rotated. [Regression Potential] * Will probably regress when modesetting is used, a separate patch might be needed to disable transforms on modesetting. Will have to be tested.
