Dear Maintainer, startx hangs on logout if xrandr rotate is used in session. There may be other ways to hang it but xrandr rotate is reliably repeatable. To reproduce: 1. Install minimal Jessie netinst system 2. apt-get install xorg blackbox # (bug does not seem to happen with gnome) 3. log in 4. startx 5. xrandr --output eDP1 --rotate left 6. right-click screen -> exit 7. terminal is hung. Nothing responds - can not change terminal, ctrl-c, or anything. Installing the latest upstream git appears to fix this bug.
Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I just upgraded to jessie and hit this same problem with xfce4. I have two monitors, so to make any use of the other one I run xrandr --output DP1 --auto --output DP2 --auto --right-of DP1 --rotate left After logout from my xfce4 session I get the same freeze as in the bug. As a workaround I can rotate back to normal using "--rotate normal" in the command above, and then I can logout without the console hanging. Cheers, Joonas
