No.  I am using gnome-mag v0.14.4, which you can obtain here (direct link):
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gn...-0.14.4.tar.gz

This is the source code for gnome-mag which must be compiled.  I'm not
sure how familiar with Linux and compiling source you are few months ago
I barely knew how to do it), but if you do not have experience with
doing this, let me know and I will respond when I am online tomorrow (as
it's after 4AM here right now...and I'm probably going to fall asleep at
the computer :) ).

Anyhow...I have used gnome-mag (without Orca) for months now with
full-screen; no dummy driver setup needed.  It works perfectly for me;
just as well as ZoomText did in Windows.

By the way, which version of Ubuntu are you using?  I"m using v7.04
here.  From what i can recall, the full-screen magnification was present
from v0.14.3.  I just start it from the run dialog with the command

magnifier -fmz <zoom level--from 1.0 to roughly 11.0 or so>

My zoom level is set to 5.0.  I think ti goes up to 10.0 or 11.0.
