Description WANG Chao 2011-06-29 07:00:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Rotate failed When I ran "xrandr -o left"
And so I tried left, right, inverted.But none of them worked.

#lspci | grep -i vga
0f:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 [ATI FireGL V3700]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.18-269.el5.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.1-5.el5_6.2.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-3.32.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.xrandr -o left
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
the screen is still upside up.
But width and length of the screen has been exchanged.That is to say the pointer of the mouse can only move within part of the screen.The pointer can't reach the other part of the screen.

Expected results:
the screen should be upside left

Additional info:
Not a regression with RHEL5.6. RHEL5.6 has the same problem.
But in RHEL5.5 when I "xrandr -o left" the x immediately crash and restart(so I go back to gdm, and need to log in again)
It works fine in RHEL6.The issue doesn't exist.
I will take a photo to show the problem and everyone can see it in the attachment.

After rotation

when i "xrandr -o left", the screen is still upside up.but it seems the length and the width are exchanged.The terminal in the desktop is maximized.My pointer of mouse can't go any further and it can only move within the correctly displayed terminal.

Now I have RHEL5.5 only, I must first install a RHEL5.5
then upgrade it to 5.7. There is something wrong that after upgraded to
5.7, the machine's X didn't work.Seems the xorg.conf used to work fine in RHEL5.5 didn't work in RHEL5.7.
Since this bug is not a regression for RHEL5.6 .The only thing I can do is to upgrade it to RHEL5.6(kernel-2.6.18-238.el5).
I will attach my log and conf file in a minute.
