Thanks, I'll check them out. Yes I am using Gnome, but not sure what ally is. I don't currently use any special devices. For me its more of a screen resolution issue. Things simply don't work well under 800x600 resolution, like Evolution, and there's so much tinkering I have to do with fonts all over the place when I leave it at 1024x768. Not my desired resolution.
There needs to be some sort of standardization so that when we switch screen resolutions we don't lose application functionality. Fortunately, I can see enough that I can squint my eyes and hunch real close to the screen to find the settings currently under tiny fonts and then change them. For others, this would be a serious problem. I reported a bug earlier today to Novell about Evolution. But I suspect I'm going to find more as I progress this week. I had briefly installed OpenSuse 10.2 a couple of months ago. A few days later I ran into a Suse engineer to show him how badly things were appearing when I tried to make any changes. He immediately said this was a bug that was going to be fixed in 10.3 and in the meantime recommended I go with SLED 10.1 instead. 10.1 did seem to be much better and the problems we faced that day were gone. Apparently, though, it didn't get completely fixed in time for 10.3. Any chance I can get an OpenSuse-labeled back massager for my frequent hunching? ;-) Bryen On Wed, 2007-10-10 at 13:57 -0400, JP Rosevear wrote: > On Wed, 2007-10-10 at 11:59 -0500, suseROCKS wrote: > > Is there a forum where I can participate in discussions on accessibility > > issues for people with disabilities?
