After update from x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.13 to x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.3 xserver crash when I use "xrandr --output XXX --rotate XXX". The crash is independent on used output (HDMI-0, VGA-0) or direct rotation (left, right). 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Hmmm...., I don't know what happened. :-O I had an idea to test if only rotate or any next xrandr function is broken. I had once again recompiled xorg-server from 1.20.14 to 21.1.3 and rebooted computer (emerge -qO1 xorg-server && chmod u+s /usr/bin/Xorg && reboot). Now my system start and is fully working. Only names of outputs are changed from LVDS, VGA-0, HDMI-0 to LVDS-1, VGA-1, HDMI-1. I made a few reboots and power off-power ons and the system is stable and working. From my point of view is possible to close this bug.
Hi, I hit this issue, and patched with `wget "https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/-/merge_requests/9.patch" -O /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati/fix.patch` which then enabled me to get into my system once again. Thanks to c17637da on IRC who helped with this. Weirdly, if I ran startxfce4 as root, it'd give me a working xfce4 session. This only effected my 'normal' user.
(In reply to Tim Bowers from comment #4) > Weirdly, if I ran startxfce4 as root, it'd give me a working xfce4 session. > This only effected my 'normal' user. I've just realised this is likely because I don't have my rotated monitor setup in my root's session, so it could start cleanly.

Hi, I found what I described in "Comment 3". I had xorg-server-21.1.3 but xorg-drivers-1.20-r2. With this combination, X worked fully with changed output names. But the correct configuration of xorg-server-21.1.3 and xorg-drivers-21.1 still crashes when using rotation. With the patch from "Comments 4", X is now fully functional. Thanks to Tim and Michael.
xorg-drivers is a metapackage, so something else must've also changed
I can confirm that this bug exists. I held off upgrades of X11 for a long time to keep it away from me. However, I found a fix that works on my machine. Add: =x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-9999 ** in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords to pull the bleeding edge radeon driver.
Or, alternatively, you could take the patch and stuff it in /etc/portage/patches/{$CATEGORY}/{$PACKAGE}/filename.patch as a quick self-help method.
