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.

Title:
  Panning in a virtual monitor is not possible after upgrade to Ubuntu
  11.10

Status in X.Org X server:
  Incomplete
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in xorg-server source package in Precise:
  Triaged

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.
