I rotated my second monitor yesterday and now I get random crashes and dont know how to fix it, I had a search and added a 20-intel.conf:
ian@Arch:~$ more /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "DRI" "false"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection
But it did not hep, in-fact it made is worse. My mesa drivers are upto date
I have no issues when monitor is set to normal orientation, any pointers appreciated.
Thanks

I started playing with xrandr rather than using Cinnamon's display preferences will see if it fixes it.

Unfortunately that didn't work either, although it did last much longer this time!

Remove that conf and xf86-video-intel , this driver is known to have issues and is barely maintained. See if you can reprodruce after removing both. The Xorg built-in modesetting driver tends to work better these days

you should have a backtrace in the xorg log which might be worth inspection.

I tried removing xf86-video-intel but it would not start X so I have kept it but have set the driver to modesetting in the xorg.config.
So far so good, bit of a mess I guess - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a … 2017&num=1

So no crashing today after switching drivers which is good BUT now I have this weird anomaly on my 43 inch 4K monitor where is momentary shifts to the the right and back again, very quickly but I do see it.
Any ideas on how to fix that ?
