[Desktop-packages] [Bug 883319]

[Miguel Angel Fraile]

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.

 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 (original
 1x1 viewport) upper left quarter of the screen, making the scaling completely
 unuseful.

 It is quite easily reproducible.

Bug description:
  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
  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...

Bug description:
  When I go  for a virtual monitor by issuing command xrandr --output
  LVDS1 --fb 1600x1200 --panning 1600x1200 on a monitor working at
  resolution 1024x768 (as I did before upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to
  Ubuntu 11.10), the WM bars on top and left side of the screen (in
  Unity) look like extending to the new area, but I cannot move the
  pointer to the new extra area and so I cannot pan. As far as I
  understood by reading around, this *could* be a bug in package xorg-
  server rather than in xrandr and *could* be related to the
  boundaries set for cursor position.
