xrandr panning

Post by gilles »

Hello,
I have a little problem with my computer Acer Aspire 7715Z (1 cm at the bottom of the screen).

With Bionic32, to solve it, I can set up a panning, writing a script with geany, saving it in ~/startup, and making it executable :

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1600x900 --panning 1600x1000

And it works perfectly.

I do the same with Bionic64, but it doesn't work. I wonder if I must do something different with Bionic64 than with Bionic32 ?

Thank you for your help

Create a script using Geany or any text editor and save it in a location like ~/startup.

Use this script to set up panning for your screen:
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1600x900 --panning 1600x1000
Ensure the script has execution permission:
chmod +x ~/startup/your_script_name.sh
Check that "LVDS1" is the correct output for your display by running xrandr without options in the terminal.

(Idk, but mb if needed, adjust the mode (resolution) and panning values in the script to suit your display's specifications; and verify that your GPU and display drivers are properly installed and compatible with the 64-bit version of Ubuntu Bionic Beaver)
