Panning no longer works. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

To be more precise, I suspect that there is some panning - by a few
pixels: it is hard to tell.

So before I could pan around the 1024x1024 virtual screen using a
synaptics trackpad. With the new packages, no panning (modulo possibly
a couple of pixels) occurs.

The initial state as reported by xrandr is:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 4096 x 4096
LVDS1 connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 195mm x 113mm
   1024x600       60.0*+
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        59.9  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


I notice "current 1024 x 600" above. As noted in the first report,
"current" changes to 1024 x 1024 despite --mode 1024x600. I am not
sure whether that is significant.
