[Bug 505545] Re: [i965] Kernel mode setting breaks panning on Intel Mobile GM965/GL960

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Xrandr's panning feature does not work correctly in Karmic. The mouse
  pointer keeps "losing its place" while moving outside the boundaries of
  the viewport. Because of this, certain areas of the display cannot be
  reached because the mouse position has been offset (i.e. the mouse
  pointer is displayed in a place different from where it should be).
  
  The command I used to enable panning is:
  xrandr  --fb  4096x1600  --output  LVDS1  --mode 1280x800 --panning 4096x1600
  
  Changing the resolutions does not fix the problem.
  
  However, disabling kernel mode setting by adding the option "nomodeset" to the kernel command line in GRUB fixes this problem. I also have to change LVDS1 to LVDS:
  xrandr  --fb  4096x1600  --output  LVDS  --mode 1280x800 --panning 4096x1600
  
  I would like to have a panning display in Ubuntu 9.10 without resorting
  to nomodeset.
