Hi Henrik:

<"What he said" >

You and Carlos put this very well. I agree with you both that this sounds like a great thing to add to gnome-mag.

By the way, Carlos has recently done some very nice work to enable fullscreen magnification without requiring two X screens, so based on this new work (still in bugzilla, but soon to be in cvs we hope), this could be done pretty elegantly at "1:1" without noticeably changing the user experience.

Best regards

Bill

p.s. - gnome-mag magnifies at '1x' if you run it with "-z1". To use this in fullscreen mode without changing your Xorg.conf will require Carlos' patch to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348375.

Probably Bill and Willie can give more advices about it.
The question is that colorblindness filters aren't exactly related to
screen magnifier. I'm colorblind, but I don't need a screen magnifier.
Perhaps not in your case, but there is a lot of potential overlap. gnome-mag manipulates the screen image real time (and has a simple inverse mode) which the filters also do. I'm sure gnome-mag could be set to 'magnify' at 1x.

Some people would want to use both magnification and a filter. Separate implementations may still be the best option for technical reasons or to have simpler configuration of each. But in that case they should at least work well together.
