Public bug reported: I'm trying to downscale GNOME interface, and in order to do this, on X, I'm using `xrandr --scale 1.25x1.25`, which produces a larger view, which I'd like to fit to my screen size.
So i'm trying to use the --panning option as follows: `xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --scale 1.25x1.25 --panning 1360x768` What happens is that the scale is applied but the panning is not, and throws the following error: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 29 (RRSetPanning) Serial number of failed request: 32 Current serial number in output stream: 32 My xrandr output (`xrandr --prop`): Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 16384 x 16384 eDP-1-1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 345mm x 194mm _MUTTER_PRESENTATION_OUTPUT: 0 EDID: 00ffffffffffff0030e45d0400000000 00180103802313780a05f59458569228 1e505400000001010101010101010101 010101010101d01d56f4500016303020 350059c2100000190000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000fe004c 4720446973706c61790a2020000000fe 004c503135365748422d544c423100b7 PRIME Synchronization: 1 supported: 0, 1 scaling mode: Full aspect supported: Full, Center, Full aspect Broadcast RGB: Automatic supported: Automatic, Full, Limited 16:235 audio: auto supported: force-dvi, off, auto, on non-desktop: 0 range: (0, 1) link-status: Good supported: Good, Bad 1366x768 60.00*+ 1360x768 59.80 59.96 1280x720 60.00 59.99 59.86 59.74 1024x768 60.04 60.00 960x720 60.00 928x696 60.05 896x672 60.01 1024x576 59.95 59.96 59.90 59.82 960x600 59.93 60.00 960x540 59.96 59.99 59.63 59.82 800x600 60.00 60.32 56.25 840x525 60.01 59.88 864x486 59.92 59.57 800x512 60.17 700x525 59.98 800x450 59.95 59.82 640x512 60.02 720x450 59.89 700x450 59.96 59.88 640x480 60.00 59.94 720x405 59.51 58.99 684x384 59.88 59.85 680x384 59.80 59.96 640x400 59.88 59.98 576x432 60.06 640x360 59.86 59.83 59.84 59.32 512x384 60.00 512x288 60.00 59.92 480x270 59.63 59.82 400x300 60.32 56.34 432x243 59.92 59.57 320x240 60.05 360x202 59.51 59.13 320x180 59.84 59.32 VGA-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) PRIME Synchronization: 1 supported: 0, 1 non-desktop: 0 range: (0, 1) link-status: Good supported: Good, Bad HDMI-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) PRIME Synchronization: 1 supported: 0, 1 aspect ratio: Automatic supported: Automatic, 4:3, 16:9 Broadcast RGB: Automatic supported: Automatic, Full, Limited 16:235 audio: auto supported: force-dvi, off, auto, on non-desktop: 0 range: (0, 1) link-status: Good supported: Good, Bad ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: x11-xserver-utils 7.7+7build1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-42.45-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-42-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0000.01.00.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 396.54 Tue Aug 14 19:02:34 PDT 2018 GCC version: gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04) ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sat Dec 8 19:38:30 2018 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.8, 4.15.0-39-generic, x86_64: installed bbswitch, 0.8, 4.15.0-42-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia, 396.54, 4.15.0-39-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia, 396.54, 4.15.0-42-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [1043:178d] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
