I made 3 OS & hardware combinations deliver panning as expected with a condensed and consolidated version of your xorg.conf.d/ files relevant to video configuration. I found nothing in them relevant to KP+ or KP-, which didn't work for me for any of the three. The Kubuntu is a version match for your kernel, 4.4.x, and Server, 1.18.4: Xorg.#.log: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/paulR/xorg.0.log-big41-s423-paulR.txt # inxi -SGxxza System: Kernel: 4.4.180-102-default x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 4.8.5 parameters: root=LABEL=foobarbaz noresume mitigations=auto consoleblank=0 vga=791 video=1024x768@60 3 nouveau.modeset=0 Desktop: KDE 3.5.10 tk: Qt 3.3.8c info: kicker wm: kwin dm: startx Distro: openSUSE Leap 42.3 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] vendor: XFX Pine driver: N/A bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:0402 Display: server: X.Org 1.18.3 driver: vesa resolution: 1024x768~N/A OpenGL: renderer: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.8 128 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 17.0.5 compat-v: 3.0 direct render: Yes # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "VESA" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Samsung" HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 56-75 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "VESA" Monitor "Samsung" DefaultDepth 16 Virtual 1024 768 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection # xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 800x600 0.00 1024x768 0.00* 640x480 0.00 # hwinfo --monitor 24: None 00.0: 10002 LCD Monitor [Created at monitor.97] Unique ID: rdCR.8OK+7dncs2E Hardware Class: monitor Model: "DELL 1704FPT" Vendor: DEL "DELL" Device: eisa 0x4005 "DELL 1704FPT" Serial ID: "Y4299613CMFG" Resolution: 720x400@70Hz Resolution: 640x480@60Hz Resolution: 640x480@75Hz Resolution: 800x600@60Hz Resolution: 800x600@75Hz Resolution: 1024x768@60Hz Resolution: 1024x768@75Hz Resolution: 1280x1024@75Hz Resolution: 1152x864@75Hz Resolution: 1280x1024@60Hz Size: 338x270 mm Year of Manufacture: 2006 Week of Manufacture: 1 Detailed Timings #0: Resolution: 1280x1024 Horizontal: 1280 1328 1440 1688 (+48 +160 +408) +hsync Vertical: 1024 1025 1028 1066 (+1 +4 +42) +vsync Frequencies: 108.00 MHz, 63.98 kHz, 60.02 Hz Driver Info #0: Max.
