[opensuse-xorg] panning pre- and post-randr 1.3
In openSUSE 11.0's server 1.4.0.90 and (reported) randr 1.2, my radeon rv380 has the (virtual desktop area) panning I need by setting in xorg.conf's device section 'Option "NoRandr"'. In openSUSE 11.1's server 1.5.2 & randr 1.2, 'Option "NoRandr"' is apparently invalid or ignored, even with Intel [815,845,G33] instead of Radeon (rv200 or rv380). With openSUSE's server 1.6.5 & (x)randr 1.3.2, supposedly panning is available, but the virtual lines in xorg.conf's screen sections must not any more valid to enable it. 1-(on rv200 radeon, as does rv380 on openSUSE 11.3's 1.8.0/1.3.2, both using radeon drivers) 'xrandr --panning 1920x1200' from Konsole just produces a usage message. From reading the man page, nothing more seems required. What am I missing? 2-How/where, prior to X startup, is randr --panning(?) supposed to be triggered and remembered? 3-If it is possible to pan in 11.1's 1.5.2/1.2 on radeon[rv200,rv380], how is it to be configured? The main reason for this is web page development. I use one CRT, and run different resolutions on multiple simultaneous X instances (:0, :1, :2, :n). Without panning, emulating widescreen modes isn't doable. I've been happy with openSUSE 11.0, but it's due out of support in a matter of days. So, I need to find something I can upgrade to that works as I need it to. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

--panning requires an --output, because panning areas are specified per output. So i.e. xrandr --output VGA --panning 1920x1200

If you have an xorg.conf, you can add Option "Panning" "1920x1200" to the according monitor section. If not you're currently out of luck. The login managers (gdm, kdm) or the desktops (gnome-display-properties, krandrtray) should restore the last configuration, though.
3-If it is possible to pan in 11.1's 1.5.2/1.2 on radeon[rv200,rv380], how is it to be configured?
If you're using radeonhd it's either the same, or by setting the "RANDR_PANING_AREA" property with xrandr --output VGA --set RANDR_PANING_AREA 1920x1200 I don't remember the exact state...
