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.

Description Lubos Kocman 2010-06-15 08:09:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

Problem occurs while secondary display is rotated to:

left
right
upside down


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

kernel-2.6.32-33.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGLU-devel-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGL-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-7.7-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

reproducible always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect extended display
2. Use Xrandr or System->Preferences->Display to rotate extended display (e.g. to left)
3. Open gnome-terminal and hit few times enter (prompt will have redrawing problems, the same happens with pop-up menus in gnome)
  
Actual results:

Redrawing issues

Expected results:

No redrawing issues

Additional info:

The same issue occurs on Fedora 13 on the same hardware.

Problem does not occur while Compiz effects (Preferences->Desktop Effects-> Compiz) are turned on.
Comment 5 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-15 08:31:41 UTC 
Issue occurs also on rotated primary display.

inclusion.
Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2010-06-15 11:15:29 UTC 
Yes, can reproduce here, but it seems like it is rather minor glitch and it tends to correct itself after a brief period of time. Agree?
Comment 8 Marian Csontos 2010-06-15 11:50:44 UTC 
Minor glitch? Try working with this glitch-feature enabled.
It impacts pretty much whole GUI, Firefox, everything...
Comment 9 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-15 12:04:23 UTC 
Working with this "minor glitch" is really painful redrawing is slow.

And it's not really pleasant/safe to see corrupted name of the file that you're going to remove .... like:

rm fi       .t t

Especially curses based applications suffer from this all the time while using them.

I see this as a blocker, lots of people here are using flipped widescreen to the left. And this is really a problem.
Comment 11 Adam Jackson 2010-06-16 15:47:54 UTC 
I am unable to reproduce this with:

kernel-2.6.32-33.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-11.el6.x86_64

at least not on 5-series.  I'll dig up a 4-series to confirm, but if you could retest with newer versions that'd be great
Comment 12 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-17 06:37:48 UTC 
Hello,

I'm always trying to be as updated as possible. And as I said this issue is also on Fedora which has most probably much newer releases ...
Comment 13 Adam Jackson 2010-06-23 16:08:18 UTC 
That's not an answer.  Can you reproduce this with current RHEL6 packages, and if so, which ones?
Comment 14 Dave Airlie 2010-06-24 01:35:02 UTC 
okay reproduced this or something like it on my 965gm with rotated screen, I'm not seeing it too the same extent, but I am seeing a lag on each keystroke in the terminal like a flush is missing or something.
Comment 15 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-24 13:34:20 UTC 
Hello,

I'm able to reproduce it with RHEL6 on following packages:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-12.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.7-12.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-15.el6.x86_64
libXrandr-1.3.0-4.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGL-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGLU-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.el6.x86_64


Dave could you please test it on  popup menus? (e.g. right click on desktop placed on rotated display?) Highlighting of the current item is messed up as well as redrawing in the terminal.
Comment 16 Dave Airlie 2010-06-25 01:13:19 UTC 
I've built xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6 in brew.

can you test and feedback here?
Comment 17 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-25 13:06:53 UTC 
Hello Dave,

the issue is now fixed. Tested on xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6.x86_64.

Thank you
Comment 18 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-29 14:55:46 UTC 
Verified on:

xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6. Issue no longer occurs in this driver.
