Zoom has thru xorg 7.0 just worked, using the usual ctrl-alt-numplus/numminus keys. BTW, xrandr still works, and I can use krandrtray to set resolution with no problem, only that isn't the same as zoom keeps the same virtual size only changing the viewport size on the virtual display, while xrandr changes both, thereby trying to fit my panels in the shrunken real estate with little luck, but hogging it anyway. Hmm... the xorg log shows this when I try to zoom. It looks like the Radeon driver is getting the zoom key events, but isn't handling them. Given that, it's no surprise the problem hasn't been fixed as the ATI driver is still the same one used with -rc1. xf86-video-ati-6.6.0 RADEONHandleMessage(0, "KeyEventMessage", "+VMode", retmsg) RADEONHandleMessage(0, "KeyEventMessage", "-VMode", retmsg) I did a bugzilla search at freedesktop.org. Nothing I could find, but that doesn't say it's not there as I guess I don't know how to use the advanced search well enough, and I usually get either zarro bugs, or 200 plus with many not even /close/. > BTW, font rendering with NVidia kernel driver is still crappy.

I don't believe I could if I wanted to, at least legally, where EULAs are considered legal, as I don't believe I could accept theirs. As I said, a Radeon 9200SE here, using the native xorg freedomware drivers. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
