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.
