[Bug 877878] Re: randr panning not working

 

I am thinking I might have to fix this myself if I want it fixed. A bit
of thought is needed to avoid making the bug where things are lost in
multi-monitor displays not come back when fixing this. I do not have
time to fix this currently but I have found a workaround for small
monitors. I have been experimenting with FVWM and the EdgeScroll
feature. This feature may take less video memory given I believe it does
not create a frame buffer so the virtual screen can be as big as you
want (if I understand how frame buffers work?). It seems some expertise
is needed to incorporate the panels/look and feel from other desktops
but something is necessary to use apps where buttons go off the bottom
of the screen. A little experimenting I am finding lxpanel works great
with EdgeScroll enabled.
