first of all, my apologies for my mistakes in english. English is not my native language.
I’m visually impaired and zoom feature are important for me.
I’m having trouble with Gnome’s Zoom feature.
Firstly, I don’t find it practical because you can’t use the mouse wheel (unless I’m mistaken)
Secondly, as soon as the ZOOM function is activated, the display jerks. (cursor’s movement is done with a delay). This delay makes the use of this function impossible.
Do you have the same jerky problem ?
do you know any ZOOM software or extensions that are better than Gnome ? (I couldn’t find a Gnome extension)
my config :
XPS 17 (year: 2011)
cpu : intel i7
geforce GT 555M, NVIDIA driver 390.147, X11,
2 screens (32", 1920*1080)
RAM 16 Go,
SSD Disk
inxi -Fzx in terminal and post the output as </> Preformatted text here.
I personally believe the problem can be the video driver/hardware and not really the zoom app it selves.
I tested it with my hardware and it works fine.
I was playing around, on the weekend and today, with the zoom feature.
First I tried it with virtualization. My experience was very bad too. The reaction of mouse movements where very slow.
Today I was making me a live image F36 Workstation and the experience was totally different. It seams to work fine. My hardware is older. I do not have Nvidia gpu.
(Intel Core i7-3517UE / Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics driver: i915)
Please try to make a live boot device and check if you get the same results. The live session also seams to be with Wayland instead of x11.
i have tried several configurations (Nvidia drivers and x11, nouveau Drivers and wauland then x11 and also Intel Card alone ), always the same behaviour.
No solution so i did a fresh installation of Fedora 36 workstation.
Gnome Zoom works properly. No artefact, no jerk.
my previous fedora configuration was an F32 that i had upgraded each year until F36.
perhaps this configuration was too messy.
It seems common for those kinds of upgrades to have lingering problems. It seems that the upgrade from gnome 3.x to gnome 40+ was not totally painless and some of the configs remaining in the users home directory structure may have been conflicting.
