Compiz crashes when I rotate screen.

[GoHabsGo]

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 Beta, and compiz (0.3.6) just crashed when I screen rotated my screen on my tablet PC.

Here are my tablet PC specs.
HP TC 4400
Core 2 duo
1.5 GB RAM
Intel 945 GM chipset

Here is the code I used in a script to rotate my screen:
xrandr -o right

xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate 1

xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate 1

xsetwacom set "eraser" Rotate 1

Thanx in advance.

Update. Compiz is also not compatible with the screen rotate from System Preferences and Screen Resolution Preferences.

Any developpements on this ?

I can confirm this on a Thinkpad X41T with an intel graphics chipset.

[attrezzo (attrezzopox)]

confirmed on a toshiba portege m400... seems to be intel related

[irongrunty (wtfmanthatsnotcool)]

confirmed on thinkpad x61 tablet

also, ugly artifacts when rotating and using metacity

[PeterKnaggs (peter-knaggs)]

Confirmed on Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 with Intel i810 driver on a HP/Compaq dc7600 desktop (using "xrandr -o left").
On the other hand, rotating works OK with compiz in Gutsy 7.10 using the nVidia restricted drivers with
an nVidia 5200 card (http://www.penlug.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LinuxHardwareInfoNvidia5200).

Confirmed on toshiba satellite a105-s4134 with intel graphics chipset when using hardy 8.04 alpha 6 when using the included screen resolution tool...rotates properly, but will not respond after things are rotated.

CopySubBuffer damage fix.

Compiz uses MesaCopySubBuffer to do partial screen updates. The damage that is created by this function to update the right screen region during randr rotation is wrong. The attached patch converts the y coordinate from gl coordinates to xserver coordinates to fix this problem.

    Report correct damage rectangle in CopySubBuffer.

confirmed on a lenovo x61 tablet running intrepid...is there any hope of this getting fixed?
rotates fine if compiz is off, and compiz runs fine otherwise...

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

This is actually a bug in the mesa OpenGL implementation, the fix for which should be included in Ubuntu 8.10 and above.
