Accessibility in Ubuntu - Screen Magnifier

[Will Backman]

The gnome screen magnifier is really designed for a two monitor setup.

I prefer to use the virtual screen size option that is built right into
X windows.  You set the actual screen to 640 by 480, but the virtual
screen to something like 1024 by 768.  Unfortunately, most tools to help
you set up the graphical environment don't have options to set the
virtual screen size.  I end up doing by hand, and if you are new to
Linux, that can be a little scary.
