A.4.1 To Enable Full Screen Magnification Using Two Video Cards

To enable full screen magnification in Screen Reader and Magnifier using two physical video cards, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure two video cards as :0.0 and :0.1.


    Note –

    It is not essential that both video cards have the same resolution and bit depth. However, if the resolutions and bit depths of both cards differ greatly, the apparent magnification factor may differ slightly from the nominal magnification factor.


  2. Click Launch, then choose Applications -> Accessibility -> Screen Reader and Magnifier.

  3. Click on Preferences in the Gnopernicus menu window.

  4. Click on Magnifier to open the Magnifier Preferences dialog.

  5. Click on the Add/Modify button to display the Zoomer Options dialog.

  6. In the Display Screen section, type :0.0 in the Source text box.

  7. In the Display Screen section, type :0.1 in the Target text box.

  8. Set the Zoomer Placement values to be [0,0,1023,767].


    Note –

    These instructions assume a video resolution of 1024x768.


  9. Click Apply and Close to close the Zoomer Options dialog.

    The magnified view is displayed on the second display 0.1.
