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 Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
