Rotating the screen with xrandr also gives me a black screen with working mouse cursor.
The problem goes away when I set AccelMethod to UXA (the default is SNA), which I did by creating a file "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf" with the following contents: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1417320 Title: Screen turns black (only mouse cursor left) when rotating screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1417320/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
