All,
Yes GNOME will ultimately have compositing like Compiz-Fusion and all
this will be a moot point.
As far as graphics capability, all my machines have been upgraded to
graphics cards that easily handle Compiz-Fusion. My keyboard, a

I agree with your points, we shouldn't need big powerful hardwares to
provide accessibility.
However I felt I should point out that for low end machines sold today -
ie with just Intel graphics - is more than capable of running Compiz
Fusion very well without lag (the hardware requirements of C
All,
I'm running Fedora 8 with the Compiz-Fusion 0.6.0-x packages.
Unfortunately, I don't have the Magnifier plugin that you mention in
Ubuntu. I was able to see a demo of this on a YouTube video and it
appears to be exactly what I was describing.
I'm not suggesting a reinvention of the whee
Carlos,
The "Magnify" function I spoke of is part of the Microsoft mouse
driver. You need a fairly recent, i.e. last 3 or 4 years, Microsoft
mouse to use it. You can download their latest drivers and read what
little information they have on this feature on the following Microsoft

All,
I essentially have two problems using Compiz-Fusion. First, it doesn't
seem to recognize my keyboard/mouse of choice, i.e. it does recognize
some of my other keyboard/mice. I use a KVM setup so I use a single
keyboard and mouse and have spent a lot of time and money finding the
one that

be blunt...as it only zoom into a specific area of desktop but doesn't
move.
There are two plugins that's to do with magnification:
Advanced Desktop Zoom - like Desktop Zoom, but does move around with the
mouse. However you
This idea already exists at http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/ The only
problem is you can't click-through on the Linux version, whereas the
Windows/OSX versions can. But generally, what Richard is looking for is
contained in this project. Last I looked, they were looking for Linux
developers to
Hi Richard,
Could you point us to the "Magnify" utility download/page and say what
version of Windows are you using?
Thanks,

Just wondering...
How is the Compiz's Zoom function for you? - I've mapped it to use the
(Win) key and so while I press the Windows key, and then scroll
the mouse wheel up - it'll zoom into around the cursor smoothly as much
as you want and the screen moves around with the cursor.

All,
I've been using GNOME for almost 10 years now. In 2003 I became legally
blind (visually impaired). Since that time I have had to use a
combination of tricks to allow me to see the screen well enough to use
it. These "tricks" have included low resolution display setting, large
monitors,
