Description Brian De Wolf 2009-03-02 17:29:22 UTC
Created attachment 23459 [details]
Verbose Xorg log output of running xrandr twice.

machine: Dell Latitude D610
chipset: 915GM
distro: gentoo
kernel: 2.6.29-rc6
xf86-video-intel: bd360e7517835626bee54bec968cdc78908c6545
xorg-server: 6093d3eb1d7d1e9cbacc2c2f4d376352f787dd53
mesa: 7.3
libdrm: a6dd0afa87558a670f970e61b023f45a396539eb

In all versions that I can test (releases prior to 2.5.1 fail to build), my LVDS display exhibits strange behavior when xrandr is used.  When xrandr is run, regardless of arguments, the elements on the screen shift as though there was a momentary resolution change.  Several lines also appear in the log at the same time (see attached Xorg log, in which I called xrandr twice).  Also, using xrandr rotation on the LVDS screen causes the screen to show lined garbage (see attached image).  I have also included the Xorg log for that as well.

When the X server closes, these lines appear in dmesg:
[drm:i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0
mtrr: no MTRR for c0000000,10000000 found

They appear regardless of whether I run xrandr, though.

Hi,
From attachment (id=23459), I see LVDS resolution is only set one time, but there are some TV mode set actions. I think there are no extern displays connecting your laptop(if I was wrong, please correct me), so please use the below method in xorg.conf to ignor it and try again, thanks.

Section "Device"
...
        Option    "monitor-TV"    "TV"
        ...
EndSection
        ...
Section "Monitor" 
        Identifier      "TV" 
        Option          "Ignore" "True" 
EndSection

My laptop does have S-Video out, though I have never used it.  With the ignore TV options added, the screen only "flickers" on the first xrandr call.  I will attach the log from calling xrandr 3 times.

Inverting the display with this option on still does not work.

Comment 8 Michael Fu 2009-03-09 02:11:05 UTC
pls try 

Option "FramebufferCompression" "False"
Option "EXANoComposite" "True"

seperately, to see if any of them will help for the inverted orientation issue.
Comment 9 Brian De Wolf 2009-03-09 12:16:39 UTC
(In reply to comment #8)
> Option "EXANoComposite" "True"

Adding this option makes rotation work.  Yay!

You meet all the criteria for bug #20265 (2.6.29, pre-965), and from the picture it looks like the same thing.
