Probably this bug has been marked invalid because there is a mix of two bugs here: one is related to panning (which I do not know if it's fixed or no), and the other one to mouse constraints when scaling.
I have 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. It is quite easily reproducible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in X.Org X server: Incomplete Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “xorg-server” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: When I go for a virtual monitor by issuing command "xrandr --output LVDS1 --fb 1600x1200 --panning 1600x1200" on a monitor working at resolution 1024x768 (as I did before upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10), the WM bars on top and left side of the screen (in Unity) look like extending to the new area, but I cannot move the pointer to the new extra area and so I cannot pan. As far as I understood by reading around, this *could* be a bug in package "xorg- server" rather than in "xrandr" and *could* be related to the boundaries set for cursor position.
