2011-07-01 00:41:01 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati On natty, Running xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 I have a 1680x1050 display and a 1440x900 display. I'm trying to get the smaller one into portrait mode. It works fine normally, but with compiz or gnome-shell (and xcompmgr iirc), the smaller display (whether it's primary or secondary) just looks like static, that varies a bit based on what's getting displayed on either. Screenshot looks normal. 2.6.38-8 (from ubuntu natty), "ATI Technologies Inc RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450]" Photo of display: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=46129 (rotated with xrandr, but not physically rotated (yet) ) X log: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=46130 [Impact] Garbage appears on screen when rotating the display. We've had a number of reports of screen corruption with -ati esp. relating to compiz/unity that is degrading experiences or making ubuntu unusable. This patch may fix many of these issues, where the user has a rotated display. [Fix] A patch cherrypicked from upstream's tree resolves this bug, as confirmed by testing the package in a PPA. The patch has already been uploaded to oneiric. No bug reports have been filed since that time (about a week ago). [Test Case] On affected hardware, with compiz or gnome-shell running, rotate one of the displays. It should display properly; due to the bug it will display static garbage. [Regression Potential] Pageflipping is an optimization. Thus, with this disabled, users with rotated screens may see some small performance loss such as tearing or flickering. However, this is preferable to displaying garbage. [Original Report] On natty, Running xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 I have a 1680x1050 display and a 1440x900 display.
