Xorg.0.log after attempted rotate and crash.

OVERVIEW

On my dual-monitor setup, if HWCursor is set to false in the xorg.conf file then attemtps to rotate one or both screens with xrandr result in segfaults.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Add 
"Option" "HWCursor" "false" 
to xorg.conf and restart X.  Then, attempt to rotate a screen using
xrandr --output VGA-1 --rotate left

ACTUAL RESULTS

X segfaults.  Computer is completely unresponsive, so a hard reboot is necessary.

EXPECTED RESULTS

A nicely rotated screen.

Build Date & Platform:

Nouveau driver built from the Git repo on 2010-01-13, running on 32-bit Arch Linux.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
