Egbert still plans to bring this patch/topic up on xorg-devel for
discussion, so things hopefully won't get lost.

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

[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.

[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.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Eoghan Murray]

I think the difference of opinion here is that jd thinks that a bug
should be to do with the symptoms, and if the symptoms are still present
then the bug should be kept open. Marc believes a bug should correspond
with a bugfix, and once there is at least one verified bugfix the bug
should be closed so we can move on.

I'd side with jd on this, I think the conflict here is that there needs to be 
more bugfixes to actually fix the incorrect behaviour (as described by the 
title, and the original bug report:  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/883319/comments/0
)

If we created another bug report for the same phenomenon, then we'd be
throwing away the reports from other people (including me) who commented
on this thread.   What would we entitle the other bug if not 'xrandr
--scale restricts area in which mouse moves' ??

+1 for reopen!

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
16:45:02 -0500

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.

Gee thanks,

Looks like you don't fix issues, you just leave them open and when you
don't feel like fixing anything, you close it so it looks like you did
something to help which you didn't. Thanks for nothing.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [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.

You just made me check, and the patch that fixed this in 12.04 is
definitely included in 14.04.

You are getting a different bug with the same symptoms.

But, if you really don't want your particular bug fixed, then by all
means keep commenting in a closed bug nobody is looking at anymore.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [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?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [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.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [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.

[Jymbob]

(In reply to Alex Fiestas from comment #65)
 With the proliferation of hidpi laptops having scale properly working is
 becoming more important since it is the only way of using embedded and
 external displays with a decent experience.
 
 I do not know for what keystone is used these days but, maybe we could
 consider breaking it in favor of scale?
 
 We can't wait until Wayland + al Compositors to implement scaling imho.
 
 Thanks.

Seconded. Chris's patch has been around for over a year. A second screen
attached to a HiDPI laptop is now a far more common use case than pre-
output keystoning.

If necessary we could open a new ticket (this has been suggested before)
to isolate the scaling issue.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [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.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [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.

Today I talked about this bug with Keith Packard. As a result of our
testing, I have to state that, with the patch, the pointer is not
constrained properly on the right side if one applies keystone
correction. That's with xorg-server 1.16.1, will now retest with the
latest git.

Retested with the latest git. The patch indeed breaks constraining the

whole keystone correction feature is already so horribly broken that
I'd just propose to drop it.

The breakage is that, if you click something, the click will not go into
a point that you intended to click. I.e. you can't even undo the damage
using the xkeystone GUI.

 Why is this bug still in the NEEDINFO state?

Because there are approximately zero active Xorg developers with enough
time to keep up on bugzilla.   Patches mailed to the xorg-devel mailing
list may get reviewed  applied faster, as described on:
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches/

I too can confirm that scaling doesn't work with radeon.

On a laptop with intel driver, the following works fine, except the mouse 
pointer is confined to the mode area, but I believe that is a known xorg-server 
bug:
xrandr --fb 1920x1080 --output eDP1 --mode 1600x900 --scale-from 1920x1080

The same command, adapted to the radeon output device doesn't work. Same
software configuration (xorg-1.15.99.903, libdrm-git, mesa-git, xf86
-video-ati-git, various kernel versions (at the moment 3.15.2)). Screen
rotation does work, though.

The patch from attachment #94929 solves the issues with constraining the
mouse pointer, so everything works fine on intel. I will file a separate

The bug is also relevant to scaling. You can test it (assuming a
1920x1200 monitor) with the following example commands:

xrandr --fb 3840x2400
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --scale 2x2

The example has no purpose as written, except to illustrate the bug, but
similar xrandr --scale commands are useful if one wants to mirror a
1366x768 laptop screen and a 1920x1080 projector for a presentation.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [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.

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.

Probably this bug has been marked invalid because there is a mix of two
bugs here: one is related to panning (which I do not know if it's fixed
or no), and the other one to mouse constraints when scaling.

I have 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

It is quite easily reproducible.

Totally agree.

So perhaps this could be renamed to something like Xrandr scaling does not
scale the mouse pointer area or be splitted to a different bug report.

This bug has not been marked invalid.

 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.

That's why the summary says doesn't work. Unuseful and doesn't work
are functionally equivalent ways of saying it is broken (constrained
mouse) and thus not providing function (able to reach all areas of
screen with mouse) that makes it usable (can't click mixer icon on
panel).

...checked in 14.04 trusty, still here.

A real PITA because the scaling is really useful with all the
applications (*-tweak-tools, are you listening me?) which are expecting
1600x1200 pixel every time...

As the summary is currently written, this bug is INVALID. Panning works
at least as far back as 1.13.2-1.21.1.i586 in openSUSE 12.3
(i865G,rv200), in addition to current 1.15.x and 1.16rc1 servers in
Fedora, Mageia, and openSUSE, but only when xrandr is used to configure
it. Configuration via /etc/X11/xorg.con* files and syntax that worked in
older servers such as 1.10.4 is what is broken for ATI, Intel and
NVidia.

I haven't tested scaling except briefly, and successfully, via xrandr
only, in e.g. 1.16rc1.

For well over a week I've been first testing the success of panning for
various combinations of gfxcard, monitor and fb size in servers prior to
the changes resulting in this bug report and then same for installations
to which I've updated using the 94929 patch applied by Tobias Klausmann
in the openSUSE build-service. Initially the only recording I did of my
testing I reported here. After while I began recording in the form of
screenshots accompanied by the Xorg.#.log associated with each one.
These are available for perusal at http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Xorg/ . Among
them is one instance of a scaling test, 1.2x1.2 applied to a 1440x900
screen. The largest fb size I tested was 3840x2400. The newest gfxchip
used was a Intel 4000 series (G41). Others used are nv11, G84, rv200,
rv250, rv380, i865G, i915G  i945G. The highest resolution used was
1920x1080. Total success pairs there currently is 31, of which 14 are
pre-bug and 17 are server 1.16rc1. KDE3  KDE4 dominate the DEs
represented. A few are IceWM and Lxde.

The only outright failure so far was on i945G and 1.16rc1 on both
openSUSE 13.1  13.2, but after another system/xorg updates round those
inexplicable failures apparently solved themselves.

Among the overwhelming number of successes are many instances of
various forms of painting and mouse pointer trouble among the
configurations with the largest panning areas that always goes away if
panning is disabled. However, such problems are common to both old
servers and DEs as well as current ones. The painting problems don't
show up in any of the screenshots. Except for the comment 44 reported
failure of xorg.conf* to produce expected results, WRT to bounds and
sizes at least, the 94929 patch seems to be doing what it needs to do.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319]

[Felix Miata]

Created attachment 96397
Xorg.0.log from i915 host gx280 having used xrandr to produce panning from 
94929 patch

This seems to be unusually verbose for the brief time X was running,
with few apps opened.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319]

[Felix Miata]

Comment 43 applies to use of xorg.conf in attempting to produce desired
X configuration, e.g. xorg.conf for Intel gfx containing:

Section Device
Identifier Default Device
Option monitor-VGA1 Default Monitor
EndSection

Section Monitor
Identifier  Default Monitor
Option DPMS off
DisplaySize 405 253 # 120 DPI @ 1920x1200  virtual
Option PreferredMode 1440x900
Option Panning 1920x1200
EndSection

Section Screen
Identifier  Default Screen
Device  Default Device
Monitor Default Monitor
EndSection

produces expected results for server 1.9.3, but not for server
1.16.0RC1. Functional panning matching that produced by the above
xorg.conf can be at least mostly achieved in i915 via xrandr as follows:

xrandr --dpi 120 --fb 1920x1200 --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --panning 
1920x1200
or
xrandr --fbmm 405x253 --fb 1920x1200 --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --panning 
1920x1200

A remaining problem therefore exists that did not exist prior to the
server changes made that made this bug report necessary in the first
place, that xorg.conf no longer does what xrandr can, as xorg.conf used
to be able to do. This is new with the 96204 patch, as with the 56408
patch and server 1.12.3, xorg.conf gets the job done as expected.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319]

[Felix Miata]

It seems clear that at least analog hardware users who require panning
and want or need to stick to FOSS solutions need to stick to out of
support Xorg versions and/or out of support drivers, and/or ancient
gfxchip technology (e.g.  MGA), and/or cheap (and usually slow) hardware
(e.g. #  XGI Technology Inc. (eXtreme Graphics Innovation) Z7/Z9 (XG20
core), a slug at 24 bit, tolerable at 16 bit as long as not extending
the desktop virtually as panning was made to do). It looks like users of
supported FOSS software versions and modern competent gfxchips are out
of options other than acquiring (digital?) displays big enough, or
acquiring additional (digital?) video ports and (digital?) displays, to
cover their otherwise virtual needs.

Hello josvanr, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xorg-server into precise-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-
server/2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319] Re: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves

[Marc Deslauriers]

Package with backported fix uploaded to precise-proposed for processing
by the SRU team.

** Description changed:

+ 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
+ 
+ [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 
+ 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...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 883319]

[Bjoernv]

I wonder, why the maximum panning size is so driver dependent.

My ATI Radeon HD 3450 had a maximum panning size of 8192x8192 with the
open source radeon and radeonhd drivers. With AMD's ATI Catalyst
13.1 Legacy driver I only have a maximum of 1920x1920. The monitor's
native size is Full-HD (1920x1080) and it's connected via Dual-Link-DVI.

$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1920
DFP1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 
287mm panning 1920x1080+0+0
   1920x1080  60.0*+
   1776x1000  60.0 +
   1680x1050  60.0  
[...]

[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.

Has this fallen off the radar?  I'd like to update my system, but I
can't lose this functionality.

Here's a debdiff with a backport to SRU. I'll upload it once the current
package in precise-proposed gets verified.

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
