his should work fine, but it requires you to disable the "sync mouse" option and use a scaled (compiz drawn) mouse cursor. This allows the mouse to move freely independent of where the zoom area is (though mouse panning is recommended). I assume that's what you're looking for? I use this myself, but let me warn you that it is affected by a bug in xfixes. On certain cursors, most notably the "loading" cursor of firefox, xfixes isn't able to give us a usable mouse cursor. The immediate result is that the cursor disappears when these pop up. What makes this bug even worse is that once you've started hiding the cursor, this bug will happen even after you've stopped zooming. However, eZoom does have a small hack to reduce this effect. It checks cursor data, and if it detects a bad cursor, it retains the previous cursor, so if you're zoomed, this helps you quite a lot, even though you might see the WRONG cursor, at least you're seeing A cursor. - Kristian _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
