Re: full screen magnification

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Hi Krister:

Fullscreen magnification can be used without a second monitor now, and 
it does work reasonably well, especially if you have a recent X server 
(preferably XOrg 11.6.8.1).

You will need to enable the "dummy driver" which gives you a "virtual" 
second screen, and then you can magnify from that screen as "source" to 
the physical screen as "target".

See the Appendix to the GNOME 2.10 Accessibility Guide:
http://gnome.org/learn/access-guide/2.10/access-guide.html#sysadmin-49

These directions will work with gnome 2.6 or 2.8 as well, as long as you 
have a relatively recent version of gnome-mag and the XOrg xserver.  A 
similar technique works for the XSun xserver provided with Solaris.

regards

Bill
