Re: [orca-list] Orca on Ubuntu eeeP

["David Banes" <david banes abilitynet org uk>]

And that all makes perfect sense to me - except in this case that isn't
what happens - its as if the orca GUI is a fixed size rather than
relative to the screen - slightly bizarre and Im sure someone techie can
explain it - but that is what happens !

Hi,
OK, something here doesn't make any sense to me.  But maybe its just me.
Normally, a screen's physical size has nothing to do with what
information
the video card outputs.  I have run headless machines for years--in
fact,
my Sun Ultra 2 is such a device.  I do not have any problems with
terminal sessions, though they are remote since the machine in question
does not have any local keyboard or display.  So kindly, perhaps one of
you here could explain what's going on?
