With the g84 on 1080 HDTV, apparently scaling, which I never tried before, is working too: $ xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --scale 1.2x1.2 (Assorted X data collected via script): # grep PRETTY /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 13.2 Milestone 0 (Harlequin) (x86_64)" # head -n16 /var/log/Xorg.0.log (beta warning stripped) [ 31.305] X.Org X Server 1.15.99.901 (1.16.0 RC 1) Release Date: 2014-02-24 [ 31.305] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 31.305] Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX [ 31.305] Current Operating System: Linux big41 3.14.0-rc7-1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 20 12:43:03 UTC 2014 (89fa272) x86_64 [ 31.305] Kernel command line: root=LABEL=os132h50 ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0 noresume splash=verbose vga=791 video=1024x768@60 # grep Output /var/log/Xorg.0.log | egrep -v 'disconnected|no monitor' [ 31.653] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output DVI-I-1 connected [ 31.653] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output DVI-I-1 using initial mode 1920x1080 # grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf | grep DisplaySize grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf: no such file or directory # grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep DisplaySize grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: no such file or directory # grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf | grep PreferredMode grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf: no such file or directory # grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep PreferredMode # xrdb -query | grep dpi grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: no such file or directory # xdpyinfo | egrep 'dime|ution' dimensions: 2304x1296 pixels (608x342 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch # xrandr | head Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2304 x 1296, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected 2304x1296+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 393mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 60.0 59.9 24.0 24.0 1920x1080i 60.1 60.0 1280x720 60.0 59.9 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 DVI-I-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

When attempting to do so, as was possible in Natty and earlier, and which is possible in Quantal+, the mouse pointer remains locked inside the old resolution. This prevents users of small screens such as netbooks from scaling to a greater screen resolution. [Test Case] - On a netbook with intel chipset, such as a Dell Mini 9 or 10, scale the display by using the following command: xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x750 --scale 1.25x1.25 See if the mouse moves correctly to all screen extremities, and is not confined by a transparent border at 1024x600 [Regression Potential] This is fixed with a patch backported from the xorg-server version in Quantal. In theory it should just affect screen which are scaled and panned, which is uncommon. If so, the patch can be backed out. Original Bug Description: in kubuntu (and ubuntu) 11.04 i used to enlarge my laptop screen like so xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.2x1.2 this worked fine: the desktop scaled to larger size correctly . After upgrading to 11.10, in kde the desktop still resizes correctly, but the movement of the mouse is restricted to an area equal to the screen size *before* issuing the scaling command. .. Ie let's say the mode is 1366x768 and I do xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.2x1.2 the screen size changes to 1640x922 but the mouse moves in an area the size of 1366x768 in the top left of the screen and then 'hits a wall' preventing it to move. I also tried ubuntu 11.10 with gnome: here the screen also resizes, but I have the same issue with the mouse, and the extended area of the desktop is black... Some time ago there was a similar issue, which was resolved later. Now it seems to be back... jos@samsungsucks:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 jos@samsungsucks:~$ xrandr --version xrandr program version 1.3.5 Server reports RandR version 1.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/883319/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
