Description Tom Hughes 2009-11-19 15:46:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have two monitors, one of which is rotated through 90 degrees. Both are driven from a single NVidia graphics card using nouveau and they are composited into a single desktop using xrandr. The xrandr configuration is:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3760 x 1600, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-0 connected 2560x1600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 646mm x 406mm
DVI-I-1 connected 1200x1600+2560+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 306mm

When using certain progams on the left hand (non-rotated) screen the cursor gets rotated through 90 degrees. This does not happen on the right hand (rotated) screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.15-17.20091105gite1c2efd.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:

The simplest way I've found to reproduce it is to start an Xvnc instance running a simple xterm and twm and then connect to that vnc instance with tigervnc and move the viewer between screens.
  
Actual results:

Cursor gets rotated. It also seems to get displaced a bit to the right.

Expected results:

Cursor does not get rotated.

Test program

This is a simple test program to save faffing about with Xvnc. Just compile this and run it and a small window will appear. When over that window the cursor should have horizontal lines but with the setup I described they are vertical on one monitor and horizontal on the other.
Comment 4 Tom Hughes 2010-01-11 08:38:23 UTC 
Is there anything I can do to help diagnose this?
Comment 5 Ben Skeggs 2010-02-09 05:02:33 UTC 
I attempted to reproduce this (with the same hw) and couldn't manage to trigger the issue.  Any chance you can update to at least xorg-x11-server-1.7.3-1 (the version in use on the machine I tested on, feel free to use newer if available) and retry to rule out the X server?
Comment 6 Tom Hughes 2010-02-09 08:38:44 UTC 
I'm fully up to date and as it happens I rebooted yesterday so I'm already running 1.7.4-1 and it is still happening. My current package versions are:

kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.4-1.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.15-19.20091105gite1c2efd.fc12.x86_64
Comment 7 Ben Skeggs 2010-02-22 05:22:04 UTC 
Ok.  Are you able to give the build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/bskeggs/task_2004261/ a try and report if it helps?

Thank you :)
Comment 8 Tom Hughes 2010-02-22 09:31:15 UTC 
That seems to fix it, yes.
