You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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...
