Screen rotation broken in Wily

[Lee Donaghy]

Using a Radeon 280x (tahiti).

Rotation previously working in Vivid but not in Wily.
Arch is on xserver-xorg 1.17.2 and rotation is working so maybe a debian bug.

Lee Donaghy, as per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3265#bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (FK). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

This issue happens on intel gpu also. I tried several BDW and SKL integrate GPU machines, all of them have this issue.

[Lee Donaghy (deadite66)]

Updated to the latest version offered by Gigabytes @Bios program.

lee@kubuntu:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Rotation is still broken.
if i run xrandr --output HDMI-0 --rotate normal the screen works but if i use --rotate left,right or inverted the screen is corrupted.
as i said it works fine on arch and previous versions of ubuntu.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Lee Donaghy, the latest available is FK, not FJ.

[Lee Donaghy (deadite66)]

fine i'll just wait until Wily is released and other users bug reports come in.
you've ignored what i've said and going through a pointless call centre tick list.

Xorg.0.log

Running Ubuntu Wily x64 on a Radeon R9 280.

when i rotate the screen on one of my monitors the screen corrupts though the mouse cursor i can still move about as normal.

rotate was working previously on Ubuntu Vivid.

tried the latest git from xf86-video-ati and it's still broken.

There is a showoff competition between squishmallow enthusiasts where they are always looking to get an upper hand over other kids by buying some fancy squishmallows. Your kid might also be looking at the mushroom squishmallow collection thinking to grab one for his collection.
