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)). lspci -vvv: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I'm not sure if EXA supports those options. You might try glamor.
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.

Maybe I forgot to compile in support for xv then. One way or the other, scaling doesn't work.
I'm running into the same problem. The transform matrix doesn't seem to get updated at all.
commit 9483a3d777919b224f70c3b4d01e4b320a57db31 Author: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@amd.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 16:48:46 2016 +0900 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.
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.
It's working. Thanks, Michel!
