           Summary: Screen rotation broken w/ KDE tool but works with a
                    script I'm sending
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: guilfordstuff at gmail.com


Created an attachment (id=60576)

Rotation script & other fixes posted by some random hacker.  I've updated it.

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

X61 tablet (i965 graphics), Opensuse 11.4 x86_64 KDE ungraded to 4.6.3 via
repository

Screen configuration widget will rotate the screen but not the wacom tablet
input.  Major problem when it tries to rotate back to landscape.  The display
manager refuses to draw the top half of the screen and many windows are now
unresponsive.  Situation is terminal; must reboot.  Rotation of screen & tablet
works fine with a script I'm attaching.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Rotate from landscape to portrait (CCW) using KDE Configure Display widget
Rotate back to landscape
Top half of screen is now black

Actual Results:  
Top half of screen is black, not getting drawn; many windows will no longer
accept input, but, some will.  Of those accepting input, the KDE launcher half
draws its window for "Leave".  Very weird window behavior.

Expected Results:  
Should make calls to xrandr & xsetwacom to rotate screen & tablet.

See attached rotation script that works fine.  This is a script I've adapted
from someone else's.  This script rotates the screen without crashing.  Use as
"rotate +" or "rotate -".  The script could use some work but it will provide
you with examplars of commands that work.

xsession-errors from the current KDE screen rotation are as follows for this
event:
