I'm willing to spend some time on this but really don't know how to proceed. Last comment on the upstream bug says 'Egbert', whoever that is, will discuss this on the dev mailing list. I don't know what that involves.. I mean I can also drop a mail to the list and say please, please include this patch but given how many people are involved in the issue who know more than me about this issue that seems silly.. Still, if you think that's the way to go I can just ping the mailing list.
Fwiw, I was able to build new debs like this: - Download patch from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=94929 - apt-get source xserver-xorg-core - cd xorg-server-1.18.3 - quilt import that-downloaded.patch - quilt push - dch -n - debuild -b -uc -us Will see if it fixes the issue for me. -- 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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
