Is screen rotation on X11 session expected to still work in Fedora 23? The shell becomes unresponsive to any/all mouse clicks and keyboard input when runnning with rotated displays.

Last time I rotated my screen was yesterday, and that worked. Did you rotate it using xrandar or some other method? Totally worth filing a bug about it.

I use a rotated (90 degrees) external display at work with Fedora 23 everyday. It works for me.

Screen rotation is not implemented in the Wayland compositor yet.

But that should not affect an X11 session, correct?

More info:

I have 4 displays, all rotated 90 degrees on a [AMD/ATI] Cedar GL [FirePro 2460]. Two are direct mDP, two are via mDP-->DVI adapters.

Wayland works, but the displays aren't rotated (understood, since this isn't supported yet), so I need to use X11.

For several releases now, I have been unable to use the Gnome Control Center to configure these--there are several problems with the Displays control panel. You can't drag the monitors around and have things end up correctly--it always leaves a blank space between monitors you can't get rid of, which leaves a "dead" area of the screen where no monitor is displaying that part. In F23/Gnome 3.18 this problem still exists, and things seemed to have regressed even further--there is no longer any way to rotate displays (perhaps understandable given the lack of rotation in Wayland, but unfortunate for people who need/want to use X11 and rotation).

So I've been using X11 with this file in my .config/monitors.xml and also copied to /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml:

<monitors version="1"> <configuration> <clone>no</clone> <output name="DisplayPort-0"> <vendor>DEL</vendor> <product>DELL 2001FP</product> <serial>C064645L1F7L </serial> <width>1200</width> <height>1600</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>0</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>left</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>yes</primary> <presentation>no</presentation> </output> <output name="DisplayPort-1"> <vendor>DEL</vendor> <product>DELL U2410</product> <serial>C592M133J46L</serial> <width>1200</width> <height>1920</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>1200</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>left</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>no</primary> <presentation>no</presentation> </output> <output name="DisplayPort-2"> <vendor>DEL</vendor> <product>DELL U2410</product> <serial>C592M9CN2JLL</serial> <width>1200</width> <height>1920</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>2400</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>left</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>no</primary> <presentation>no</presentation> </output> <output name="DisplayPort-3"> <vendor>DEL</vendor> <product>DELL 2001FP</product> <serial>C064645L1EVL </serial> <width>1200</width> <height>1600</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>3600</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>left</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>no</primary> <presentation>no</presentation> </output> </configuration> </monitors>

This works fine in Fedora 21 (I haven't tried Fedora 22 yet, but I'm willing to try).

In Fedora 23 with an X11 session, the displays are rotated correctly and the mouse cursor functions (moves around) correctly on all monitors. You just can't click on anything or type anything. If I remove the monitors.xml, everything works correctly but of course the displays aren't rotated (or placed correctly).
