I am not sure how well compiz is supported, or if it is being 
superseded, but I love the e-zoom feature.  With Mythbuntu LTS 
(and a bit of configuration) holding down the Tux/Windows/Super 
key and scrolling the mouse wheel puts the screen into a zoom 
and pan mode.  

Or, buy a bigger screen, and reconfigure everything to use 
large fonts, large icons, large pointers, etc.  Sometimes 
you can cheat and tell the computer that the screen is a 
different size from what it really is - but things tend to 
get messy when you do that.
