[Bug 1580123] Re: xrandr --scale (again) confines mouse to native solution
It would be very helpful for users on LTS systems if xserver-xorg-core version 1.20 would be backported (currently 1.19 on bionic/18.04). This bug basically affects everyone with a high dpi system and an external screen because this setup requires scaling the screen to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580123 Title: xrandr --scale (again) confines mouse to native solution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1580123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems to be interfering with Panning. Description: Panning does not work. The screen should pan when the mouse is moved outside the visible area on the screen, when the visible part of the screen on the CRTC is part of a larger configured framebuffer screen. Use the following to configure panning xrandr --fb 1600x1200 --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --panning 1600x1200 Use the following to restore xrandr --fb 1280x800 --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --panning 1280x800 Move the mouse to the CRTC edge and expect to see screen to pan, but pan does not happen, because the mouse is constrained to remain in the CRTC bounds. Use case: laptops have small screens. Configure panning to use a larger screen on the small DISPLAY. Use remote desktop such as VNC, using vino, or module vnc, and access the desktop more comfortably on a larger workstation screen.

RandR panning is a really niche and unloved feature which I can understand as it makes the X server more complex than it could be.

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..

I can confirm that --panning works for me. While I'm good now, I'd encourage the maintainers to consider this a severe UX issue. It's not at all intuitive that you need to change this option to make it work. Then again, it probably makes sense to add options to the control center for changing the scale factor where it could set the right panning option transparently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580123 Title: xrandr --scale (again) confines mouse to native solution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1580123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1580123] Re: xrandr --scale (again) confines mouse to native solution
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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580123 Title: xrandr --scale (again) confines mouse to native solution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1580123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
