Title: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: in kubuntu (and ubuntu) 11.04 i used to enlarge my laptop screen like so xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.2x1.2 this worked fine: the desktop scaled to larger size correctly . After upgrading to 11.10, in kde the desktop still resizes correctly, but the movement of the mouse is restricted to an area equal to the screen size *before* issuing the scaling command. .. Ie let's say the mode is 1366x768 and I do xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.2x1.2 the screen size changes to 1640x922 but the mouse moves in an area the size of 1366x768 in the top left of the screen and then 'hits a wall' preventing it to move. I also tried ubuntu 11.10 with gnome: here the screen also resizes, but I have the same issue with the mouse, and the extended area of the desktop is black... Some time ago there was a similar issue, which was resolved later. Now it seems to be back... jos@samsungsucks:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 jos@samsungsucks:~$ xrandr --version xrandr program version 1.3.5 Server reports RandR version 1.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/883319/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
