Hello, everyone.
Please forgive me if I am doing this incorrectly as I have never used a mailing
list.
This post pertains to Gnopernicus--Screen Magnifier (version 0.11) running on
Ubuntu 5.10.
I am visually impaired college student who has been interested in Linux for
quite a long while. I actually just recently purchased a new hard drive
so that I could begin using Linux while keeping Windows for myself and
especially for my wife.
I am taking a Linux course at the college which I attend this current quarter
(ending on May 5). The class (unfortunately) has to use Fedora Core 2 in
the computer lab, and I have not had much of a problem at all with Gnopernicus
(I primarily use the magnifier as I have some sight).
The problem which I am encountering is this: I am trying to set the
magnifier so that it will take up a horizontal area at the top of my screen
(somewhat similar to how the Windows Magnifier does). My screen
resolution is 1024x768. My positioning settings for the magnifier (under
Preferences->Magnifier) are as follows:
*****Magnification*****
Zoom Factor X/Y: 5.0
*****Positioning*****
Left: 0
Top: 0
Right: 1023
Bottom: 200
I am not sure if this is set correctly, but it should place a horizontal strip
across the top of the screen. This does occur, but there is one slight
problem.
I moved the top panel to the bottom of the screen, but for some reason the
magnifier shows a grey area about in the bottom fourth of the screen, so any
windows that are that far downward are not shown; only a solid grey area
appears. The taskbar panels are not visible at all.
I am not sure as to what the solution to this dilemma would be.
I would greatly appreciate any help/advice/suggestions.
Please take care and have a great day.
