Hi

I'm using

xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.5x1.5

on my laptop in order to not have half of the screen
occupied by firefoxes title bar. (ie make a bigger
screen). This worked fine in 11.04 but now after upgrading
to 11.10, the movement of the mouse pointer is
constrained to the part of the screen before scaling.
So it can only move in the upper right part of the screen
and then hits a 'wall' somewhere in the middle.
What can I do about this (I know probably nothing but
downgrading to 11.04 , should have known and kept it, but
there is a small chance someone may have a solution)
