Are you sure you're even using TILER for X?
Kernel 4.15 still showed the console on the screen with rotated TILER- Setting, so the full framebuffer was working. If the framebuffer / console doesn't show, something is broken...
If you're using X with omapdrm or modesetting, the framebuffer isn't used and thus, you are not using TILER.
Of course, rotating with xrandr works, but it has MASSIVE slowdowns.
What driver are you using for X in your setup?
Hi, Tiler rotation works for me with latest kernels for me. It was only broken between 4.19-rc1 and 4.19-rc5. It could be a different user-space setup.
Here is how I do the setup:
- boot
- in xserverrc (should not make a difference if a systemd rule is
used): /root/tiler-ctl 270 this already makes the console rotate (except that there is no visible cursor for 90/270 and cat /dev/urandom >/dev/fb0 also does not show a pattern) so maybe the console or /dev/fb0 is not aware of TILER rotated framebuffer. 3. start Xorg 4. xrandr --output Unknown16-1 --rotate right / left / normal / inverted shows all 4 rotations
Otherwise I have no idea how I could help here...
BR, Nikolaus

Hi,
as we probably all know, TILER doesn't work with the latest kernel versions for some reasons. Hopefully, it's something simple, but still someone needs to look at it.
The reason I'm asking is not just because the OS would be more usable, but as part of the test is the pandora_input_tester which doesn't fully show because of the missing rotation.
Does anyone has the time to look into that, so we have a usable system again?
