This bug also applies to the proper command that was implemented to do panel-fitting with KMS.

The "aspect" option takes, but the screen is corrupted.

I'll file a separate bug for it.

The panel_fitting can also be configured in KMS. But the command is different with that in UMS mode.
   >UMS mode: xrandr --output LVDS --set "PANEL_FITTING" "full aspect"(center, full)
   >KMS mode: xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" "Full" ("Center" or "Full aspect"

Then you can switch to the different display mode.

The corruption issue will be tracked in bug24339.
So this bug will be marked as resolved.

Using xf86-video-intel-2.9.0, the suggested command does not work here:

$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" "Full aspect"
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request: 148 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request: 27
  Current serial number in output stream: 27

Also the manpage still says to use the PANEL_FITTING property.

[yakuizhao (yakui-zhao)]

From the xrandr output it seems that you uses the modified kernel.
In the upstream kernel the property of scaling mode should be:
  >scaling mode: Full
  supported: None Full Center Full aspect

But on your box the property of scaling mode is :
   >scaling mode: Fullscreen
  supported: Non-GPU Fullscreen No scale Aspect

Please use the property on your box to change the scaling mode.

Thanks.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

From the upstream bug report, this is due to differences in the kernel DRM; refiling against the kernel.

[peridot (peridot-faceted)]

In karmic, it is apparently possible to set this value:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" "Full aspect"
The changed value appears in the output of xrandr --prop. Unfortunately this has no effect on the horrible distorted appearance of the resulting modes; the effect is still that of "Fullscreen". (Why is full aspect not the default anyway?)

[bojo42 (bojo42)]

also not true for lucid, xrandr works.

This bug was filed against a series that is no longer supported and so is being marked as Won't Fix. If this issue still exists in a supported series, please file a new bug.
