[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
I think the difference of opinion here is that jd thinks that a bug should be to do with the symptoms, and if the symptoms are still present then the bug should be kept open. Marc believes a bug should correspond with a bugfix, and once there is at least one verified bugfix the bug should be closed so we can move on. I'd side with jd on this, I think the conflict here is that there needs to be more bugfixes to actually fix the incorrect behaviour (as described by the title, and the original bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/883319/comments/0 ) If we created another bug report for the same phenomenon, then we'd be throwing away the reports from other people (including me) who commented on this thread.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
No it wasn't. I saw this issue in 13.10, 14.04, 14.10, 15.04, and now 15.10. So if it was fixed in 12.04, then it was only fixed in that version. Funny that I have a new bug altogether and yet the symptoms are identical in every way. More liked Occam's Razor states that either the issue was never fixed, or more complex description of it being fixed, then a magical being appeared from the sky and made a completely different issue that is identical in every way, but is apparently not the same thing. You tell me if that sounds like a completely different bug or if it's a lazy person who didn't fix it at all or correctly.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
Same problem on Debian 8. Simple solution, like in comment nr 115, but it is much better to use --scale-from instead of --scale. For example: xrandr --output LVDS1 --fb 1920x1200 --panning 1920x1200 --scale-from 1920x1200 To switch back, set your normal resolution, for example: xrandr --output LVDS1 --fb 1280x800 --panning 1280x800 --scale 1x1 If the size of scale--from a bit different from the size of --panning, it causes problems. So you should use --scale-from instead of --scale. I'm not sure if --fb is necessary, it works without it, but maybe using it is more secure. -- 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 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
I applied the attached patch, modified from wvengen's patch in comment #112 and built against xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3 on Ubuntu 15.04. This fixes the scaling behaviour on an external monitor and my cursor is now able to move within the bounds of the scaled monitor. Compared to the version against which wvengen's patch was applied, there is some additional logic in the file to be patched concerning rotation. I do not know if this patch handles rotated cases properly. ** Patch added: randr_scaling_ubuntu1504.patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/883319/+attachment/4399679/+files/randr_scaling_ubuntu1504.patch -- 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 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
I would suggest a workaroung: use --scale together with --panning For example, if I have 1366x768 screen and I would like to scale it up to 1920x1080, I would use xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.406x1.406 1.406 = 1920/1366 or, similarly 1080/768 To go back, issue xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 0x0+0+0 --scale 1x1 Of course, don't foget to replace LDVS1 with the appropriate device. -- 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 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

I applied the patch from Chris Wilson to xserver-xorg-core 2:1.16.0-1ubuntu1 and find that my mousepointer now travels to the monitor's edge when using scale with xrandr.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
I think that the upstream bug is not correct here. The problem is not with panning; the problem is with scaling and the mouse behavior. I have xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 (X.Org X Server 1.14.5), and if I issue xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 2x2 the screen scales correctly, but then the mouse is restricted to the (original 1x1 viewport) upper left quarter of the screen, making the scaling completely unuseful. -- 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 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
Package with backported fix uploaded to precise-proposed for processing by the SRU team. ** Description changed: + SRU Request: + + [IMPACT] + A bug in the version of xorg-server in precise prevents users from scaling screen resolution. When attempting to do so, as was possible in Natty and earlier, and which is possible in Quantal+, the mouse pointer remains locked inside the old resolution. This prevents users of small screens such as netbooks from scaling to a greater screen resolution. + + [Test Case] + - On a netbook with intel chipset, such as a Dell Mini 9 or 10, scale the display by using the following command: + + xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x750 --scale 1.25x1.25 + + See if the mouse moves correctly to all screen extremities, and is not + confined by a transparent border at 1024x600 + + [Regression Potential] + This is fixed with a patch backported from the xorg-server version in Quantal. In theory it should just affect screen which are scaled and panned, which is uncommon. If so, the patch can be backed out. + + + + Original 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 + 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...

Bug affects Oneiric, Precise and now Quantal. I do not remember Natty. Canonincal needs to patch xorg once and for all.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
Thanks Chris and Marc, for the patch and ppa. I just tried the fix in Quantal Quetzal (12.10) 32 bits. My netbook is a Benq Joybook Lite U101C, 1024x600, Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz, graphics card Intel 945. I even installed Ubuntu Tweak, and activated the events that are triggered in the screen corners (show windows, show desktop, show workspaces). The first time, the behavior was weird, but that time I used the NEWREZ script. The second time I used xrandr on terminal and all it's working good, what am I saying?, it's working awesome.

Can someone post some steps how to build in proper way patched xserver(? or xrandr?) on ubuntu LTS 12.04? Seems i have been bitten by it as well. P.S. BTW, it didn't bother me much before, when scaling worked properly, but is it intended behaviour, that if one sets real resolution After scale usage, it never covers whole screen?

Could you provide instructions on where to download the correct source, and possibly what flags and whatnot you compiled the patched version with?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves
HAHAHAHA! It works, oh gods it works! Thank you both Chris and Marc! My first reboot I had to manually restart lightdm, but that's a small price to pay to actually SEE my whole desktop at 1024x600 all at once without pointless panning, especially if I happen to load up a game that uses the screen edges for scrolling, and needs to be 1024x768. Oh HAPPY DAYS! I think the one problem I had with lightdm not loading all the way the first time is more to do with me being on Oneiric, and having to do some impromptu hacky pulling down of libx11 and libc6 from Precise, but again, even if I end up having to reload lightdm manually every time I reboot (time will tell), it's a small price to pay for scaling to work correctly again.
