I occassionay need to use panning to have a larger (virtual) desktop to move around on my Lenovo laptop. On my previous laptop I used xrandr for that.

xrandr --listactivemonitors
Monitors: 1
 0: +*XWAYLAND18 1920/310x1080/170+0+0  XWAYLAND18

I now tried the following, but got an error message:

xrandr --verbose --output XWAYLAND18 --panning 1920x1500

crtc 0:    1920x1080  59.96 +0+0 "XWAYLAND18"
X Error of failed request:  BadRRCrtc (invalid Crtc parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  139 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  29 (RRSetPanning)
  Crtc id in failed request: 0x561
  Serial number of failed request:  22
  Current serial number in output stream:  22

This is the info from lspci:

(There is no need for a multi-monitor setup and the screen works normally without any problems at 1920x1080)

  • xrandr is read-only on Wayland. Either use a Wayland tool or switch to X11: https://askubuntu.com/q/1410256/1004020 – Daniel T Mar 02 '24 at 17:50
