Description Harald Judt 2014-06-29 14:14:45 UTC
Scaling doesn't work with radeon. Screen rotation does work, though.

On a laptop with intel driver, the following works fine, except the mouse pointer is confined to the mode area, but I believe that is a known xorg-server bug to which a patch is available in bug #39949:
xrandr --fb 1920x1080 --output eDP1 --mode 1600x900 --scale-from 1920x1080

The same command, adapted to the radeon output device doesn't work. Same software configuration (xorg-1.15.99.903, libdrm-git, mesa-git, xf86-video-ati-git, various kernel versions (at the moment 3.15.2)).

Is scaling not implemented in radeon?
Comment 1 Alex Deucher 2014-06-30 15:42:27 UTC
I'm not sure if EXA supports those options.  You might try glamor.
Comment 2 Harald Judt 2014-07-01 21:05:55 UTC
No, it doesn't work with glamor either. Besides, I'd like to use EXA because of xv support.

Actually, I notice one difference after executing
xrandr --fb 1920x2400 --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1200 --scale-from 1920x2400

The vertical panel seems to stretch/extend to the new vertical size (2400). However, the intended scaling doesn't get applied.

xrandr --verbose before and after this command shows no differences.

glamor supports Xv as well.
Comment 5 Harald Judt 2014-07-01 21:14:22 UTC
Maybe I forgot to compile in support for xv then. One way or the other, scaling doesn't work.
Comment 6 Sebastian Wick 2016-01-14 01:01:48 UTC
I'm running into the same problem. The transform matrix doesn't seem to get updated at all.

    Fix RandR CRTC transforms
    
    Currently, Xorg will only transform the cursor as of the first time the
    cursor image changes after a transform is set.
Comment 8 Harald Judt 2016-01-18 10:12:06 UTC
Thanks for fixing it. Unfortunately, it comes too bit late, and I can no longer test this because my old graphics card went to the gpu nirvana :-(

That said, hopefully it helps Sebastian and other users.
Comment 9 Sebastian Wick 2016-01-19 15:25:21 UTC
It's working. Thanks, Michel!
