When attempting to do so, as was possible in Natty and earlier, and which is possible in Quantal+, the mouse pointer remains locked inside the old resolution. This prevents users of small screens such as netbooks from scaling to a greater screen resolution. [Test Case] - On a netbook with intel chipset, such as a Dell Mini 9 or 10, scale the display by using the following command: xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x750 --scale 1.25x1.25 See if the mouse moves correctly to all screen extremities, and is not confined by a transparent border at 1024x600 [Regression Potential] This is fixed with a patch backported from the xorg-server version in Quantal. In theory it should just affect screen which are scaled and panned, which is uncommon. If so, the patch can be backed out.
