[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale 1.2x1.2 restricts area in which mouse moves
Id also like that. I downloaded the xorg sources in kubuntu 11.10 (package xorg-server-1.10.4). The patch seems to be in there I think in the file debian/patches/219_fedora-pointer-barriers.diff . I tried to reverse it but haven't succeeded yet. I'm not an expert in this...

It seems to be interfering with Panning. Description: Panning does not work. The screen should pan when the mouse is moved outside the visible area on the screen, when the visible part of the screen on the CRTC is part of a larger configured framebuffer screen. Use the following to configure panning xrandr --fb 1600x1200 --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --panning 1600x1200 Use the following to restore xrandr --fb 1280x800 --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --panning 1280x800 Move the mouse to the CRTC edge and expect to see screen to pan, but pan does not happen, because the mouse is constrained to remain in the CRTC bounds. Use case: laptops have small screens. Configure panning to use a larger screen on the small DISPLAY. Use remote desktop such as VNC, using vino, or module vnc, and access the desktop more comfortably on a larger workstation screen.

[1] http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-June/023715.html Yeah, I later submitted another patch which also fixes this issue in a different way: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/6488/ There's no action on either of them though. RandR panning is a really niche and unloved feature which I can understand as it makes the X server more complex than it could be. The panning functionality really belongs in a client application like a compositor.

For me it is a showstopper to!! So please if someone has a temporary solution, pleas tell. Perhaps it is possible to install an older version of Xorg or of some packages?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale 1.2x1.2 restricts area in which mouse moves
The patch on 40063 simply reverts the cursor constraint feature -- not what we want for fixing the issue. Three other patches have been proposed: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/6217/ http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/6209/ http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/6488/ However, these are for fixing panning rather than scaling. However these look like they're more on the right track of solving the underlying problem, perhaps something similar could be crafted to handle scaling better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883319 Title: xrandr --scale 1.2x1.2 restricts area in which mouse moves To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/883319/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
