Re: full screen magnification 1/4 of the screen

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Hi Jason:

If you want your magnifier to follow the mouse in fullscreen mode, you 
need to specify the "-m" option along with the others on your command 
line.  Otherwise, it's just awaiting instructions from some other client 
such as gnopernicus.

Note also that for more featureful magnification, you may want to try 
the gnopernicus screenreader-and-magnifier's magnification features.
