I am using the LiveCD of Ubuntu 6.06, because I'm new to Linux.
That means I don't know much about configure Linux or even Gnome or
Gnopernicus.

If I start Ubuntu with the accessibility option 'Moderate visual
impairment' Gnopernicus comes up with a small rectangle magnified
window. Gnopernicus doesn't follow the mouse nor the keyboard focus at
this moment. So that it very difficult to work with it.

Another Problem is, if you use the Gnopernicus the way I described. You
can't access the main menu of Gnopernicus because it is behind the
magnified window and I was not able to see anything in this window
except the background of the desktop. That mean the whole window was
brown.

If you explain to me how to configure Gnopernicus and or Ubuntu for
full screen magnifire I will try it.

Petra
