It definitely did make it. I checked the source RPM for f11b [1] -
it's definitely in the included tarball [2], so unless one of the
later patches takes it out (I did grep for OPTION_PANNING in the
entire SOURCES directory) it is there. I think I'm just clueless on
how to use it - or possibly it's not finished.

Oh well, Cricket's never been my thing. Rugby is better.

Have you tried: Option "Panning" "1280x1024" If you download the src.rpm for Xorg in F11b, Panning is definitely in hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Crtc.c ... so it /should/ work... -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Parse error on line 44 of section Monitor in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "Panning" is not a valid keyword in this section. nope - no workee - it's an X killer, and in the man page for xorg.conf on Fedora-11-Beta (x-server 1.6), there is absolutely no mention of Panning at all. FWIW - you should be able to make 'panning' work via xrandr on your Asus with what I gave you above (adjust for the name of your display) and I suppose I could probably add the panning command to a startup script after login but it seems neater/cleaner/ and an end to the regression that I could accomplish so easily on Fedora Core 4.

I know very little about this but I was keeping an eye on it for my eeePC 701. The changelog for Xorg 1.5.99 says: Matthias Hopf (5): randr: Add monitor option "Panning" for initial panning configuration So that says to me that somewhere in your Xorg.conf Monitor section you should have a Panning keyword - which you don't have. Looks like you'll have to dig around in Google though as I haven't seen any easy source of information about it, -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
xorg virtual / panning question
I am getting no traction on xorg mail list - perhaps I cannot ask in a way that makes them answer but the idea is... Fedora 11 Beta (xrandr 1.3 - yeah!) If I manually execute the command... xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --panning 1280x1024 I sort of get what I want...well, the background is tiled but my tiny 1024x600 screen becomes usable with panning and I can't understand why I can't achieve this simply with xorg.conf. Can anyone see what changes I need to make? xorg.conf looks like this...(some clippage) Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d" FontPath "built-ins" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "dri" Load "dri2" Load "record" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName"LCD Panel 1280x1024" Modeline "1024×600" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 \ -HSync +VSync EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "1024x600" Depth 24 Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubSection EndSection -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
