Hi Kristian, My thoughts about where magnification must go is: * Leave gnome-mag in maintenance (hey, we need a maintainer for it :-). * A magnification D-BUS API will be great (this will address the cross-desktop issue). gnome-mag API have good examples of some needed functionalities to solution

Hi Aurelian: There may be a number of things going on there. To get things working as good as possible with gnome-mag, I think you currently need to have the following (Carlos will correct me if I'm wrong, I hope!): 1) COMPOSITE enabled in the X server. Since it seems as though you might be

Thank you, Carlos. I am replying to your email using compiz-fusion (the CPU usage barely reaches 3-4%. It would be great if gnome-mag were as easy on the CPU. When you say that the algorithm can be calculated in the GPU, you mean there is a setting I can change to do that, or is this a feature tha

Hi Aurelian, Probably in a Core 2 Duo you will have 50% of CPU usage (100% of one core). This is not a bug, this is due the fact that the magnification algorithm is CPU intensive. This can be solved using the video card processor, that is by far fastest for this type of operation. If you pan a lo

Hello list, Firstly, I'd like to thank the developers of gnome-mag and orca for the significant improvements in the area of magnification. The great orca developers listened to my suggestion and created the option to have the cursor centered while editing and navigating. Kudoz ! Now I have a few
