Re: [orca-list] Orca on Ubuntu eeeP

[Erik Heil <eheil sdf lonestar org>]

Hi,
OK, something here doesn't make any sense to me.  But maybe its just me.
Normally, a screen's physical size has nothing to do with what information
the video card outputs.  I have run headless machines for years--in fact,
my Sun Ultra 2 is such a device.  I do not have any problems with
terminal sessions, though they are remote since the machine in question
does not have any local keyboard or display.  So kindly, perhaps one of
you here could explain what's going on?
