Description Suzanne Hillman 2009-06-12 18:10:15 UTC
Description of problem:
xrandr fails to work to rotate screen on Toshiba Portege (intel). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.1-4.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL5.4-Client-20090608.2
2. Run "xrandr -o inverted --verbose" while in X.
  
Actual results:
[root@localhost ~]# xrandr -o inverted --verbose
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1024 x 768    ( 346mm x 260mm )  *60
 1    800 x 600    ( 346mm x 260mm )   60   56
 2    640 x 480    ( 346mm x 260mm )   60
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none
Setting size to 0, rotation to inverted
Setting reflection on neither axis
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  156 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  12


Expected results:
Should rotate!

Comment 1 Suzanne Hillman 2009-06-12 18:24:50 UTC
This originally was noticed on a Toshiba Portege with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=184877 it looks like this is actually supposed to be working.

Anyone know expected current state for this?

Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2009-09-16 20:58:51 UTC
This isn't expected to work in RHEL5.  That's why "inverted" isn't in the list of possible reflections.
