RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

More likely a radeon issue than a libXrandr (given that it affects only this graphic card).

We're experiencing this too. 

For us, at least, it's not just rotation - performance has also taken a dive. For example, dragging a large window is very very laggy.

I'm not sure where to put this, so I'm just going to add to the thread.

I was informed many months ago that there is a solution here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3177441

However, I am unable to get access to that solution. Additionally, I've been informed that there is private information relating to this bug report that is not accessible to the public.

Since there has been no public activity on this thread since it initially appeared, and at the very least, we know that Red Hat has been aware of a solution since last September, I humbly request that Red Hat make the solution public to those of us who are unable to pay for a support license.

Thanks,

Comment 8 Michel Dänzer 2020-09-09 10:23:14 UTC 
Is there still corruption with rotation using xorg-x11-drv-ati-19.0.1-3 from RHEL 7.7?
Comment 9 Michel Dänzer 2020-09-09 10:38:18 UTC 
This sounds similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1454818, which was fixed in RHEL 7.5 (xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.10.0-1.el7).
Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2021-01-15 07:40:47 UTC 
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
