Re: Using gnome-mag as a screen inverter

[Cride5 <conrad bornrider com>]

Hi Carlos, cheers for your response.

The version I was using was 0.14.4 which must have been released before the
patch was applied. I downloaded your patch from here
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422347
and it worked a treat. I now have exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks a million for help!

Conrad
