Subject: Rotation not working on skylake with TearFree option Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, Rotation isn't working on Skylake with the TearFree option. I get the following error: xrandr --output "HDMI2" --rotate "left" xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed crtc 0: disable screen 0: 1080x1920 285x506 mm 96.25dpi crtc 0: 1920x1080 60.00 +0+0 "HDMI2" crtc 0: disable crtc 1: disable crtc 2: disable crtc 3: disable screen 0: revert crtc 0: revert crtc 1: revert crtc 2: revert crtc 3: revertThe issue seems only to affect left/right rotation, not normal/inverted. I got in contact with a Intel dev on irc, which was able to reproduce it and it has now been fixed upstream. Commit https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=c62177ec321e009a1abcdc969dd808fb37136013 specifically he told me. I haven't tested yet, that it fix the bug, but I will do as soon I get access to the hardware again. - Kristian
