GNOME includes the package gnome-mag [1]. Right now you can control it
using the preferences "Magnifier" tab in orca. You could try it if you
are using ORCA.

In the same way, there are efforts to include built-in magnification
in gnome-shell, the new window manager/panel for GNOME3. This will be
as well controlled by orca (still in development).
