Screen is corrupted between rotations

[Brendan Donegan]

When X is instructed to rotate the display, there is screen corruption inbetween each rotation. This can easily be reproduced by installing Checkbox and running /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/rotation_test

[Eric Zig (zuric)]

When I run /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/rotation_test
I've got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/checkbox/scripts/rotation_test", line 31, in <module>
    from checkbox.contrib import xrandr
ImportError: No module named checkbox.contrib

And nothing happens

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

It's a little odd that /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/ can exist but not the checkbox.contrib.xrandr module. Can you confirm a few things?

1.) dpk -s checkbox
2.) ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/checkbox/contrib/

What if it is simply run with xrotate?

[Eric Zig (zuric)]

Yes (I believe..), i have checkbox.contrib.xrandr

When I run ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/checkbox/contrib/
I have

bpickle.py glock.py persist.py REThread.py
gdk.py __init__.py __pycache__ xrandr.py

I did rotation with the display settings, I have screen corruption just with normal and 180 degrees rotation (so in the portrait screen) other it's fine

[Chris Wayne (cwayne18)]

Please try running /usr/bin/xrotate. At this point, any other test should be considered incomplete

[Eric Zig (zuric)]

Yes /usr/bin/xrotate result also a screen corruption

[Chris Wayne (cwayne18)]

Thank you, moving this bug to Confirmed.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Yep, this is presumably a tegra bug. Should be escalated to nvidia.

[Sean Feole (sfeole)]

Assigning to Alex , tegra3 related, still Confirmed in Raring, Needs escalation to Nvidia.
