The Xorg.0.log with ModeDebug on

I'm running all-git versions of X components. I can xrandr --rotate left,right and inverted. The problem is when rotating back to normal.

If the display is rotated "inverted", issuing "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --rotate normal" leads to a black screen or a console (VT1 for instance) painted screen. Moving the mouse around paints the X display contents where it passes. If I change VT to a console and then back, everythings goes back to normal.

If the display is rotated either "left" or "right", issuing "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --rotate normal" seems to crash the system. I get no more log entries, not even when SysRq sync'ing. But I can SysRq reboot.

I've made some tests with Option "ModeDebug" "on". I'll attach both the Xorg.0.log and the relevant part of the system log.

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
