Hello, everyone. Just a day ago I reinstalled Ubuntu Edgy because of wireless issues. After solving the problem with wireless, I decided to upgrade Orca to v2.17.92 and I updated gnome-mag-0.14.1 (I just saw that v0.14.3 was available at the GNOME FTP site). The Orca/gnome-mag source compiled successfully without a hitch. I tried to set the zoom factor boundaries for top/bottom in Orca to obtain full-screen magnification, but I found that it did not work. This worked before when I had Orca v2.17.1 in my previous Ubuntu Edgy installation. Did I do something wrong?
During the compilation of both source files I did: sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr (to override previous versions) sudo make -----> for Orca sudo make all -----> for gnome-mag sudo make install I just realized that I could solely use gnome-mag by entering options into the command-line. I used the following configuration: magnifier -hmz 5.0 I realized, however, that the magnified portion was at the bottom of the screen (with crosshairs). Is there a way to invert the magnified/un-magnified windows so that the magnified portion is at the top of the screen? And is there a way, via the command-line, to remove the crosshairs? ONce I figure this out I can then create a launcher for the magnifier. One more question (I apologize for the long e-mail), but I noticed that there si a large white/grey space surrounding the desktop window (when using gnome-mag via the command terminal). Is this normal? I think that once I can get this all figured out, I can finally (permanently) move over to Linux. gnome-mag has come a long way since I started using it back in October last year; it si almost capable (if not completely) of doing what ZoomText in Windows does. I'm very grateful to all of you working on this project. Thank you. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
