  [IMPACT]
  A bug in the version of xorg-server in precise prevents users from scaling 
screen resolution. 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...

[Treviño]

Here's a script to get this working when using panning:
  https://gist.github.com/3v1n0/772d48481cffc5b8ca1527d6dcc62f38

Just call it as:
  ./xrandr-scale.sh  

i.e:
  ./xrandr-scale.sh eDP1 0.8

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Jim Cline]

I have the same bug in a recent build from xenial.  I tried downgrading
xorg to precise, no difference, mouse still hits the wall when output to
internal monitor is turned off.  If both monitors are turned on, the
problem does not occur.  But I like to conserve my laptop screen when I
am connected to an external monitor.

sorry, the patch that was added to precise is actually upstream and
included in the server that trusty has, but it broke again for some
reason, and that's why a new bugreport makes sense

I have the same issue in up-to-date xenial (1:7.7+13ubuntu3).
Is it suppose to be fixed there as well? I can't find anything in the changelog.

  [IMPACT]
  A bug in the version of xorg-server in precise prevents users from scaling 
screen resolution. 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...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[tchouli...@gmail.com]

Yes, unfortunately it just removes my 2nd monitor, and only pans on the
first. Also what makes it difficult, is after I enable --panning, I
don't know how to disable it, so I have to restart every time it doesn't
work.

Have you tried using --panning option along with --scale ?

This particular bug was indeed fixed in Ubuntu 12.04:

xorg-server (2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.12) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/238-xrandr-fix-panning.patch: disable CRTC cursor
confinement when panning is enabled. (LP: #883319)

 -- Marc Deslauriers  Tue, 12 Feb 2013

If you are seeing similar symptoms in a more recent release, it's likely to be 
a different bug altogether.
Please file a new bug so the issue actually gets fixed instead of commenting in 
a bug that has been long closed and doesn't show up on any bug lists anymore.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[jd]

No it wasn't. I saw this issue in 13.10, 14.04, 14.10, 15.04, and now
15.10. So if it was fixed in 12.04, then it was only fixed in that version.
Funny that I have a new bug altogether and yet the symptoms are identical
in every way. More liked Occam's Razor states that either the issue was
never fixed, or more complex description of it being fixed, then a magical
being appeared from the sky and made a completely different issue that is
identical in every way, but is apparently not the same thing.

You tell me if that sounds like a completely different bug or if it's a
lazy person who didn't fix it at all or correctly.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Eoghan Murray]

This is affecting me with a hDPI primary display (Dell m3800) when adding an 
external monitor which has to be scaled 2x2 with xrandr in order for the extra 
display to not appear massive.
Is there any way of getting the patch that fixes this without compiling xorg?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Anton Bachbaum]

Same problem on Debian 8.

Simple solution, like in comment nr 115, but it is much better to use 
--scale-from instead of --scale. For example:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --fb 1920x1200 --panning 1920x1200 --scale-from 1920x1200

To switch back, set your normal resolution, for example:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --fb 1280x800 --panning 1280x800 --scale 1x1

If the size of scale--from a bit different from the size of --panning,
it causes problems. So you should use --scale-from instead of --scale.

I'm not sure if --fb is necessary, it works without it, but maybe using
it is more secure.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Glenn Brauen]

I applied the attached patch, modified from wvengen's patch in comment
#112 and built against xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3 on Ubuntu
15.04.

This fixes the scaling behaviour on an external monitor and my cursor is
now able to move within the bounds of the scaled monitor. Compared to
the version against which wvengen's patch was applied, there is some
additional logic in the file to be patched concerning rotation.  I do
not know if this patch handles rotated cases properly.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Ilya G. Ryabinkin]

I would suggest a workaroung: use --scale together with --panning

For example, if I have 1366x768 screen and I would like to scale it up to 
1920x1080, I would use
xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.406x1.406

1.406 = 1920/1366 or, similarly 1080/768

To go back, issue
xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 0x0+0+0 --scale 1x1

Of course, don't foget to replace LDVS1 with the appropriate device.

  A bug in the version of xorg-server in precise prevents users from scaling 
screen resolution. 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.

  correctly, but the movement of the mouse is restricted to an area equal to

  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

[Allen Webb]

Is it just me or does the --scale option ignore the cursor so that the
cursor isn't scaled with the desktop/screen?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[wvengen]

I applied the patch from Chris Wilson to xserver-xorg-core
2:1.16.0-1ubuntu1 and find that my mousepointer now travels to the
monitor's edge when using scale with xrandr.

It appears that the package's .diff.gz has some changes (why isn't that
a quilt patch?) in the affected file, a patch that applies to the source
package (on top of all the other patches) is attached.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Romano Giannetti]

I think that the upstream bug is not correct here. The problem is not
with panning; the problem is with scaling and the mouse behavior.

I have  xserver-xorg  1:7.7+1ubuntu6   (X.Org X Server 1.14.5), and if I
issue

xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 2x2

the screen scales correctly, but then the mouse is restricted to the
(original 1x1 viewport) upper left quarter of the screen, making the
scaling completely unuseful.

[Romano Giannetti]

So basically, the Fix released status is incorrect. The bug referred
to the title is still here (at least in Saucy, will test Trusty). Maybe
the other problem (panning, mentioned in the upstream bug, not related
with this bug title) is fixed, but not this one.

...checked in 14.04 trusty, still here.

A real PITA because the scaling is really useful with all the

1600x1200 pixel every time...

  [IMPACT]
  A bug in the version of xorg-server in precise prevents users from scaling 
screen resolution. 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

  this worked fine: the desktop scaled to larger size correctly .

  correctly, but the movement of the mouse is restricted to an area equal to

Just checked with Synaptic the Version.

Even afer a restart the bug still exists.

  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...

  SRU Request:

  [IMPACT]
  A bug in the version of xorg-server in precise prevents users from scaling 
screen resolution. 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

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Oscar Campbell]

Thank heavens and hells. Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur) solution #62 worked 
perfectly here: My 1600x900 now displays as full-hd with:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.2x1.2

I use this to get the scaling right for real-world measurements vs
screen-distances in a specific app.

Thanks.

[Marc Deslauriers]

This was fixed in quantal with the following commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=1bf81af4a6be1113bcc3b940ab264d5c9e0f0c5d

The only thing is you need to specify the panning resolution when using
the scale parameter. For example, instead of using the following to
scale a 1024x600 netbook screen:

xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.25x1.25

you need to use:

xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x750 --scale 1.25x1.25

Title:
  xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

  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...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[OzK]

Bug affects Oneiric, Precise and now Quantal. I do not remember Natty.
Canonincal needs to patch xorg once and for all. It's a simple solution and we 
are more than 1 year and 3 dists (Oneiric, Precise and Quantal) suffering this 
bug.

ppa:mdeslaur/testing has no xorg for Quantal.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Calichon]

Thanks Chris and Marc, for the patch and ppa. I just tried the fix in
Quantal Quetzal (12.10) 32 bits. My netbook is a Benq Joybook Lite
U101C, 1024x600, Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz, graphics card Intel 945.

I even installed Ubuntu Tweak, and activated the events that are
triggered in the screen corners (show windows, show desktop, show
workspaces). The first time, the behavior was weird, but that time I
used the NEWREZ script. The second time I used xrandr on terminal and
all it's working good, what am I saying?, it's working awesome.  Good
work
