Just would like to chime in that I also am having this issue. My Asus EEE 1010HAB netbook has a max resolution as detected of 1024x600, but I would use xrandr to "stretch" the size of my desktop, with amazing results, in Ubuntu 11.04, with no problems whatsoever, using the following command:
xrandr --fb 1280x1024 --output LVDS1 --scale 1.25x1.71 The "stretch" functionality still functions as expected after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, showing a desktop that APPEARS to be 1280x1024, but I believe the mouse coordinates have ceased to be scaled to match, as the mouse stays bound into a 1024x600 area in the new stretched desktop, effectively making the bottom and right hand sides of the screen unreachable with the mouse cursor. Perhaps the mouse boundaries are now being based off the "actual" resolution instead of the "stretched" resolution, or the mouse coordinates are not being translated properly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/866065 Title: Cursor limited after XRANDR with option "--scale" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/866065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
