I've run the magnifier on AIX once, but I think I had a newly build
Xserver installed.  

xdpyinfo | grep -i damage

Look at the following to quickly build the latest development Xserver.
You will also need to rebuild the magnifier with this code base to take
advantage of xdamages and xfixes.

Also, look at the "magnification" script in the following paper:

http://accessibility.freestandards.org/a11yweb/presentations/kraft-20050126-mag.html

It runs the gnome magnifier as follows:

magnifier -t $DISPLAY -s $VIRTUAL -f -m --smooth-scrolling -z $Z
