Hi, Those are some of the limitations of the gnome-mag package.
1) the settings window often gets hidden under the magnification window, might want to close gnome-mag and see if it is there. Also magnifier can be invoked from the command line with magnifier. magnifier --help should discuss all parameters. 2) sounds like a bug? Can you get a screenshot? 3) you need to bring in another screen for gnome-mag to correctly utilize the full magnification ability. This can be accomplished through a dummy screen driver or an extra vid card. I've had the chance to continue working on my gnome-mag review/guide. I'm up to like 4-5 pages now.

It seems responsive enough, though I don't have much experience with magnifiers. There are also some issues: 1. I don't get a gnopernicus settings window so I can't change settings. 2. The magnification window only fills part of the screen. If you cut the screen in 8 sections, 4 wide and 2 high, my magnifier appears in the top row, second column. I have a wide screen display though, so that might be the cause. 3. It doesn't magnify stuff that is hidden under the magnification area. Other than that, it seems to track the cursor quite well. I'm running i386 dapper on an AMD64 system. - Henrik -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
