Public bug reported:

X11-xserver-utils 7.6+3   Precise

When entered from a terminal the command
 >xrandr --output DFP2 --set "scaling mode" "Full aspect"

Gives the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  157 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request:  35
  Current serial number in output stream:  35


I use the ATI Proprietary  FGLRX driver, does XRandR not use "scaling mode" 
with this driver?

I am attempting to change the behaviour of the display when I attempt to
change screen resolutions in KDE, my monitor (Acer H233H) appears
'stuck' in 1920x1080.  When I attempt to switch to a lower resolution,
ie, 1280x720 (which is listed as a valid mode), the monitor does not
actually change mode, the displayed screen shrinks, with large black
bars on all 4 sides.  the displayed part of the screen is 1280x720, but,
I expected the screen to fill the monitor, not a section of it.

Thank you!
