Thanks Chris for your patch "Sample fix for panning/scaling".
openSUSE Linux users can test Xorg server (package xorg-x11-server) with this patch included. openSUSE users find the temporary and experimental openSUSE repository here:
I find the old panning feature very useful. With an old "ATI Radeon Mobility 9200" graphics card, I can extent the 1024x768 desktop until 4096x4096. With an more recent "ATI Radeon HD 3450" I can extend until 8192x8192.
Unfortunately the support for panning within the KDE desktop poor. I miss special maximize and fullscreen functions for big virtual screen.
My xrandr setting for testing (3072x768 virtual desktop on a 1024x768 Laptop (LVDS) screen):
xrandr --output LVDS --panning 3072x768
I have no problems with touchpad and external mouse.
