I'm trying to find something that will give me up to 4x full screen magnification. Can anyone suggest what's out there, as I found the results on Google a little confusing. Thanks

Some are actively being worked upon and are good. Others are maybe not being developed anymore. http://live.gnome.org/Orca http://www.ncsu.edu/it/dss/help/gmag.html http://kmag.sourceforge.net/ http://scanline.ca/magnify/ What distribution are you running or planning to use. Maybe we can find something specific to that distribution, or something that will work on it. Cheers! Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress.
