Description Jose Gardiazabal 2012-10-09 08:54:25 UTC

Dear all,
I updated my intel driver to version 2.20.9 this week, and since then, every time I try to rotate the screen, the x crashes.
if you run:
# xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate left
it dies instantly. That I think it was not happening with 2.20.8.
My computer is a Dell Latitude e6420 with a i7-2720qm, running gentoo unstable.

Thanks for your help.
