Hi all, My name is Max Tappenden. I am 16 years old and am visually impaired. I have been referred to this list by my IT teacher to get some help setting up gnopernicus on Ubuntu 5.10.
Firstly, I'd like to say that I am primarily a mac user and am a great fan of OS X. I also have had to use Windows as it is required of me by certain people at school to run some software, particularly in Maths... I run several web servers and these run CentOS or FreeBSD and have grown familliar with some linux commands, although I have most of the work done on them by other people. So, pretty much a newbie with Linux. I was advised by my IT teacher to try Ubuntu and so this is what I am running. I've managed to get my wireless connection working and was pretty impressed with how it recognized all of my hardware, not requiring me to find drivers for anything on my Samsung P28 laptop. Now I am trying to get Gnopernicus running. I have installed it using Synaptic. When trying to run it I found that the magnifier was unavailable. After doing some reading I found that I needed to have gnome-mag installed before I could use the magnifier in gnopernicus, and so I installed this through Synaptic. Now when I start the magnifier I'm presented with an (apparantly) magnified image in the top center of the screen... It has a black crosshair, and a large cursor, but everything else just shows up in black and white. I haven't got any further than this. Can anyone here help me with the configuration of gnopernicus? Also, from looking at what I have so far it seems that this only magnifies a part of the screen much like the Windows Magnifier. Is this correct? I am used to Universal Access Zoom which is included with MacOS X and ZoomText 8 on a PC, both of which use full-screen magnification. Is this not possible on linux, or at least not with this application? Please advise... Thank you Max Tappenden _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
