Re: [orca-list] Magnification.

Hi Chris:

There's some information at these pages:

http://live.gnome.org/Orca/ConfigurationGui
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Magnification

In a nutshell, things need to be configured right and you need the right 
hardware in order for full screen magnification to work.  The "Here's a 
note from the gnome-mag maintainer" on the Magnification page should be 
a first step to see if you might be able to have success on your old 
Acer travelmate (i.e., if you don't have the COMPOSITE extension, then 
full screen will not be a viable solution for you).
