Comment 43 applies to use of xorg.conf in attempting to produce desired
X configuration, e.g. xorg.conf for Intel gfx containing:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Option "monitor-VGA1" "Default Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Default Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "off"
DisplaySize 405 253 # 120 DPI @ 1920x1200 & virtual
Option "PreferredMode" "1440x900"
Option "Panning" "1920x1200"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Default Device"
Monitor "Default Monitor"
EndSection
produces expected results for server 1.9.3, but not for server
1.16.0RC1. Functional panning matching that produced by the above
xorg.conf can be at least mostly achieved in i915 via xrandr as follows:
xrandr --dpi 120 --fb 1920x1200 --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --panning
1920x1200
or
xrandr --fbmm 405x253 --fb 1920x1200 --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --panning
1920x1200
A remaining problem therefore exists that did not exist prior to the
server changes made that made this bug report necessary in the first
place, that xorg.conf no longer does what xrandr can, as xorg.conf used
to be able to do. This is new with the 96204 patch, as with the 56408
patch and server 1.12.3, xorg.conf gets the job done as expected.

Title:
Panning in a virtual monitor is not possible after upgrade to Ubuntu
11.10
Status in X.Org X server:
Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “xorg-server” source package in Precise:

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.
