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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883319 Title: xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/883319/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
