[bug] screen is black after xrandr rotate command

[XiongZhang]

When running "xrandr --output xxxxx --rotate inverted " on intel platforms with ubuntu 15.04, screen becomes black.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install ubuntu 15.04 with intel graphic card and boot up into desktop
2. run xrandr --output eDP1 --rotate inverted

Expect result:
eDP screen rotate inverted

Actual result:
eDP screen is black.

[XiongZhang (xiong-y-zhang)]

 The following two commits from 4.0 kernel could fix this issue.
ecb7e16 drm: add helper to get crtc timings (v5)
455a680 drm/i915: remove intel_pipe_set_base() (v4)

Please backport these two commits to vivid kernel.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1446979

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

My BDW seems to rotate fine with current vivid. The kernel already has ecb7e16 backported for i915_bpo (used by CHV and SKL).

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

also, there's a separate bug I filed for adding rotation support for SKL, bug 1447143

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Mainline commit ecb7e16 is in 15.04 as of the Ubuntu-3.19.0-12.12 kernel as commit b610fbd:
b610fbd drm: add helper to get crtc timings (v5)

Mainline commit 455a680 may not be needed. Can you test the latest 15.04 kernel and see if this bug still exists? The latest version is 3.19.0-15.15.

Thanks, in advance!

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Ah.. I didn't try inverted, just 90/270 degrees.. yes, inverted gives black screen on BDW, tested on 3.19.0-14

[XiongZhang (xiong-y-zhang)]

3.19.0-15.15 still has such issue on BDW, you should backport 455a680.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

verified that the commit fixed it for BDW

[Luis Henriques (henrix)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-vivid' to 'verification-done-vivid'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Xiong: any suggestions how to fix this and not break GM45 in the process?

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

For this issue, I can reproduce it on 201411-16162
On 3.19.0-25 (14.04.3 stock image) and the 3.19.0-26
With Intel Haswell-ULT [8086:0a16] graphic controller.

However, I noticed that this issue does not exist in 14.04.2 stock image (3.16 kernel), it's affect with the double cursor issue there (bug 1443345)

Zuhayer Tahir, given the scope of this report is fixed already, it doesn't have anything to do with your problem.

However, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with the Ubuntu repository kernel (not mainline/upstream) via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

For more on why this is helpful, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

[Zuhayer Tahir (zuhayer171288)]

Thanks for your prompt response, I will read the procedure and file a new
report in a few days.

Thanks,
