Unfortunately, this is a problem that is not easily solved, and requires significant work done on Unity 3D to 
make eZoom work properly, and the Unity 3D dev team do not have the time to allocate to this task, 
particularly since stability is a focus for 12.04. However, for Ubuntu 12.04, an alternative is being looked 
into, in the form of using unity 2D with Compiz, and enabling the eZoom plugin. This won't  be easily enabled 
from the GNOME control center, but if you install with the magnification profile, this will all be set up for 
you.
