[i855] after rotation screen is cropped/shifted

[Andrew Frank]

Binary package hint: xorg

if i use xrandr -o right (or rotation the screen with the gnome monitor tool) the contents are shifted up (the width is ok, it shows the reformated applets band at the bottom of my screen). it seems that the full screen is there - i can move windows which are partially shown down and use them. at the bottom is a black band - about the height of what is missing on top.

i have produced a xorg.conf and have added
Section "Monitor"
#af
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Device"
# addition af
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Option "RandRRotation" "On"
EndSection

rotation of stylus input works (great job!) and on the rotated screen is seemingly correct (i.e. about an inch lower than the button i want to hit - reflecting the shifting of the display).

perhaps connected: this is a new install of ubuntu 10.10. it did recognize the wacom serial stylus input automatically but did not allwow the xrandr to work.

thank you for the progress with xorg for tablets!

[Andrew Frank (frank-geoinfo)]

the bug is related to compiz - if i switch the display effects of (in system->pref->appearances->visual effects NONE ) the rotation works perfect.

remaining questions: why is
Section "Device"
# addition af
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Option "RandRRotation" "On"
EndSection

not automatically produced? and why does compiz introduce a shift?
hope this helps!

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu.

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
