(In reply to Chris Wilson from comment #10) > (There is certainly a kernel regression due to planes)
Even so, the original report makes no mention of using nightly or a very recent kernel. Also, the link to github implies the problem started to happen after an upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10. The latter uses kernel 3.16 and xf86-video-intel version 2.99.914. I am able to reproduce the bug with that config, getting the screen divided horizontally like in the attached screenshot. Adding Option "Present" "false" to the device section of xorg.conf works around the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395182 Title: Screen tears on xrandr orientation inverted Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When xrandr -o inverted is run, the resulting image is split down the middle. This happens 95% of the time; it has worked once or twice without tearing. Rotation can be activated through unity-control- center Display Settings rotation field, and that reliably works fine. When xrandr -o normal is run, the display returns to normal (although bug #1376760 is observed). xrandr -o right and xrandr -o left also reliably work without issue; this only occurs on xrandr -o inverted. The same behaviors are observed with the longer form of the command xrandr --output eDP1 --rotation inverted, etc. This has also been reported at https://github.com/pfps/yoga- laptop/issues/28, which uses xrandr commands to invert the display.
