    To get best output of video I have enabled the Intel "Tearfree" option in my Xorg configuration:

    Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod" "sna"
   Option      "TearFree"    "true"
EndSection

    This leads to a good result. The problem is that with Tearfree=true I cannot rotate my screen left or right:

    $ xrandr --output HDMI2 --rotate left
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

    Xorg.0.log outputs:

    Anyone knows what's wrong or a workaround for this issue?

    I have the same issue on Debian Jessie with backports.

    I have tried kernel 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6-rc3 same issue, I also tried last xf86-video-intel git.

    Mesa 11.1.2, Xorg 1.16.4.

    I get exactly the same errors as Gabriel
