Starting in around 2.3.1, the X server freezes when rotating 90 degrees
on this hardware. In 2.2.x it would rotate but was not very stable and
would freeze after certain actions. Currently it freezes immediately on
rotation. (the screen is drawn and the cursor "works", and the cursor
bitmap changes as it's moved around the screen, but beyond that,
everything's frozen).

Rotation 90° does work alright if I change, before logging in (in GNOME), the session such that no start scripts are executed. It does not seem that anything is missing afterwards.

Hi Bryce!
I knew we'd have to meet here sooner or later.
I tried to take a look at this bug and here's some of what I found:
* With fairly current, (master within the last couple of weeks at
least), X server and xf86-video-intel, I tried various combination of
rotation and applications. I rotated both before and after starting
GNOME. I ran totem with visualization as well as mplayer rendering with
xv, (since the original referenced bug seems to point to problems with
xv). And everything worked fine for me---I couldn't find any problems.
* I talked with Keith Packard, and he says that all the rotation code
takes place in generic parts of the X server, and the driver should be
totally unaware of things. That makes the "starting in around 2.3.1"
part of the bug report suspicious. Did the bug really change with xf86
-video-intel 2.3.1 or did other things change at the same time?
Since I can't reproduce the bug yet, I'll need some more information
from those who can. Specifically, if you can take a broken setup and
make it work by switching only the Intel driver, (back to 2.2, say),
then that would be very useful information.
Also, if you could update to 2.4 (or even a recent 2.4.9x release
candidate for our imminent 2.5 release), and report if things start
working for you, that would be great.
Thanks,
-Carl

Heya Carl,
@Mike and Michael, can both of you please try what Carl suggests and re-
test for this bug against more recent code? You can get an ISO of
intrepid-beta at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/beta/.

First off, basic rotation seems to work fine, and furthermore the Ubuntu
"visual effects" also seem to work while rotated, which has not worked
for me up to this point. So in this sense, this version is the best
ever. (Hooray!)
3D acceleration (still) does not work correctly, though. If "visual
effects" is not enabled, then the GL window is either black or frozen,
except that if I grab the window and move it around, it seems to work
perfectly until I stop. So I guess there's some sort of updating
problem. (The behavior is slightly different between glxgears vs the
Ubuntu screensaver preview window. The former starts in an almost
working state, but with a black bar across the top 20% of the window;
then, when I touch it, it's frozen while still and works while the
window is moving. The latter starts black, and then likewise once
touched is frozen unless the window is in motion (i.e., being moved with
the mouse).
If "visual effects" is enabled, the effect looks more complex. Things
only work while the window is being dragged, as above, but the rendering
is not correct in this case, and leaves strips of rendered material
outside the dragged window.

Thanks for trying with newer packages, Mike!

Excellent news.
This particular bug report is about the rotation. So since everything is working correctly, I'll go ahead and mark this bug as fixed. If you do see other issues with rotation, please feel free to reopen the bug.
> 3D acceleration (still) does not work correctly, though.
This is in general, right? Not only when rotated? If so, then it would
be most helpful if you could open separate bug reports for each separate
issue. (For example, I'm not the right person to help with any 3D issues
at all.)
Thanks again for your testing and bug reporting. We really appreciate
it!

I hadn't tried until you asked, but 3D seems to work fine when the
display is not rotated, at least when "visual effects" are not enabled.
(It'd be more difficult for me to check the "visual effects" enabled
case, but I can if it actually matters here.)
So, yes, I think there is a still a rotation bug. Whether it's the same
bug I will leave as a question to the philosophers. :-)
Thanks for your work on this--even in its current state this definitely
made my day!

This should be a different bug, so please file a new bug.
You could also try http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17967#c9 to see if vblank_mode impacts your 3d issue.
