Re: [orca-list] multi-monitor possibilities

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Stefan:

On the "magnifier" tab of the orca preferences dialog, there is an 
"advanced..." button.  Press this button and you will get a dialog that 
has a "multi-monitor settings" section.  Under this section, you can 
specify the source and target displays.  With this, you should hopefully 
be able to make the source display (:0.0) the unmagnified view and the 
target display (:0.1) a full screen magnified view of the source display.

Hope this helps,

Will
