Hi Christopher:

When you say you are working with "the magnifier" I assume you mean gnopernicus 
in magnification mode.

There are a couple of things which may be responsible for your problems.  Since 
you report that 'dual-head magnification without Xinerama didn't work', then I 
assume you are not running the latest version of the magnifier, but that you 
are using an Xserver with the 'DAMAGE' extension.  There were a couple of bugs 
fixed in the 'gnome-mag' package which probably affect this.  If you can 
upgrade to gnome-mag version 0.11.13 or later, you should be able to run 
without Xinerama, using 'source' and 'target' displays which differ.  We don't 
actually test gnome-mag with Xinerama, we recommend using it with dual-head 
instead, but you are correct that there were blocking bugs in recent versions 
for which Xinerama may be a reasonable workaround.

The 'one side is gray' problem is likely to be bug #164371, which was only 
fixed very recently.  You'll need gnome-mag 0.12.0 (released *today* !) for 
this - but if you don't use Xinerama, you won't see this bug with dual-head 
magnification.

If doing this is impractical, let us know, as there are a couple of other 
things which may allow you to work around this until you can upgrade.

best regards

Bill
