For well over a week I've been first testing the success of panning for various combinations of gfxcard, monitor and fb size in servers prior to the changes resulting in this bug report and then same for installations to which I've updated using the 94929 patch applied by Tobias Klausmann in the openSUSE build-service. Initially the only recording I did of my testing I reported here. After while I began recording in the form of screenshots accompanied by the Xorg.#.log associated with each one. These are available for perusal at http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Xorg/ . Among them is one instance of a scaling test, 1.2x1.2 applied to a 1440x900 screen. The largest fb size I tested was 3840x2400. The newest gfxchip used was a Intel 4000 series (G41). Others used are nv11, G84, rv200, rv250, rv380, i865G, i915G & i945G. The highest resolution used was 1920x1080. Total "success" pairs there currently is 31, of which 14 are pre-bug and 17 are server 1.16rc1. KDE3 & KDE4 dominate the DEs represented. A few are IceWM and Lxde.
The only outright failure so far was on i945G and 1.16rc1 on both openSUSE 13.1 & 13.2, but after another system/xorg updates round those inexplicable failures apparently solved themselves. Among the overwhelming number of "successes" are many instances of various forms of painting and mouse pointer trouble among the configurations with the largest panning areas that always goes away if panning is disabled. However, such problems are common to both old servers and DEs as well as current ones. The painting problems don't show up in any of the screenshots. Except for the comment 44 reported failure of xorg.conf* to produce expected results, WRT to bounds and sizes at least, the 94929 patch seems to be doing what it needs to do. -- 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/881046 Title: Panning in a virtual monitor is not possible after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/881046/+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
