[Dell Insprion 3646] Double cursor appeared when rotating the display back to normal [8086:0f31]

[Po-Hsu Lin]

CID: 201403-14891 Dell Inspiron 3646

When you rotate the display to any orientation other than "normal", and rotate back to normal, there will be two cursors.

The second cursor will be totally useless and it can't be captured with the screenshot tool.

Also affecting 201403-14890 Dell Inspiron 3646 with the same graphic controller.

The attachment is the screenshot.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

This should be considered as a blocker, since we expect that there should be no corruption after this kind of steps.

[Robert Hooker (sarvatt)]

Does the xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-utopic in this PPA still have the same issue so we can narrow this down some? It is the vivid version backported and I see a few interesting commits that could affect this in there, but want to be sure it's actually fixed first.

Hi Robert,
with the ppa added, the xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-utopic (2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.1~trusty2) package could fix this issue on 201403-14890 Dell Inspiron 3646
Thanks.

I uploaded an xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-utopic with this commit backported which I believe has the fix to the problem. Let me know if it works? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=b2492fa45beaf3c676eea2d5d75e35d60b91d769

Hello Robert,

I have verified the xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-utopic package (version 2:2.99.914-1~exp1ubuntu4.3~trusty1+lp1443345) from this aqua ppa on two different systems (201403-14890, 201306-13866), and this patch seems not working, the double cursor issue still exist.
