Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-20 13:09:08 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 Richard Marko 2011-10-20 13:51:48 UTC
Correcting steps to reproduce:
0. tamper with panning via xrandr (xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x800)

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-20 14:18:31 UTC
So you enabled panning, rotated the screen and then didn't like the rotated pannng configuration that was applied?

Comment 5 Richard Marko 2011-10-20 14:34:35 UTC
Yes. The problem is that when you set panning of your first screen to its native resolution and try to rotate the second screen panning is modified.

E.g.
xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x800

rotate second screen (HDMI2)

xrandr:
LVDS1 connected 1280x1430+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 261mm x 163mm panning 1280x1430+0+0
   1280x800       60.0*+   59.8     59.9     50.0

Comment 6 Adam Jackson 2011-10-20 18:27:11 UTC
1280x1430 seems... highly improbable.  Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of 'xrandr --properties'.
