FWIW: I don't try to use randr directly to set up panning. I do it either through xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf because I'm usually controlling DPI via DisplaySize, limiting VertRefresh to 60 or 75, turning DPMS & DDC off, and turning DefaultModes on. It would be nice if TargetRefreshRate ever worked.

I don't use small displays either. Mostly I use CRTs as described on http:// lists.x. org/archives/ xorg-devel/ 2012-June/ 031652. html
