Desktop Panning option/software
I have an Nvidia card and would like to have my desktop pan. I remember
having an old ATI card that allowed me to set the "virtual desktop" to a higher resolution than the actual desktop, allowing the desktop to pan when you moved your mouse to the edge of the screen. I am NOT looking for a multiple/virtual desktop, I know of those and Nview does it anyway. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. |

I played with the Zoomtext demo a while back and it seemed quite nice, but for 400 bucks it ought to be. The same company produces a product for 100 bucks called "BigShot" but the demo on that was broken, so can't comment. Most modern video hardware has this capability, but unlike days of yore there is no longer any convenient way to access it. Matrox took it out of their latest drivers, ATI still has a way to get at it but it no longer cycles through a reasonable range, it hits every possible resolution in between, never seen it on an nvidia driver but my nvidia experience is not terribly recent. Thanks. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
