As noted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg- server/+bug/883319/comments/62 , the fix for #883319 requires --panning to be specified with --scaling in order to disable the mouse constraints when scaling.
Ideally, xorg should be modified such that the mouse constraints are calculated based on the --scaling and --panning settings, rather than being disabled when --panning is enabled. Short of that, it would be nice if xorg was modified to disable the mouse constraints when --scaling is enabled (in addition to when --panning is enabled). If neither of those can be accomplished, it would probably be sufficient to simply document (in the man page?) that --panning may be needed to disable the mouse constraints when using --scaling. -- 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/1580123 Title: xrandr --scale (again) confines mouse to native solution Status in X.Org X server: Unknown Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This might be a regression where the original issue is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/883319 It can be easily reproduced by doing something like: xrandr --output DP1 --scale 1.25x1.25 The mouse will be still constrained to the native solution (aka you can't move the mouse outside a box of whatever DP1 had as resolution before. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 $ xrandr --version xrandr program version 1.5.0 Server reports RandR version 1.5 $ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-core: Installed: 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1580123/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
