Ubuntu Oneiric, either Unity or Unity-2d:
Trying to find a decent screen magnifier (note: there is none), I came accress the tool claiming to be Ubuntu's default magnifier: orca.
1. Enabling "Zoom" in Ubuntus "Universal Access" system dialog does: nothing.
2. typing "orca --enable=magnifier" in a terminal (as documented in the man page) does: nothing.
3. Installing package gnome-mag and typing "magnifier" in a terminal does: nothing.
4. Installing package gnome-mag and typing "magnifier --vertical/horizontal" leaves screen completely unusable
Bottom line: orca and gnome-mag shall provide universal acces, but not even my as a fully capable human being can get them to work. How shall a visually impaired person ever get them to work?
Ubuntu claims to be software for human beings. Gnome has usability guidelines. Both is not met by Oneiric.

Ubuntu Oneiric, either Unity or Unity-2d:
Trying to find a decent screen magnifier (note: there is none), I came accross the tool claiming to be Ubuntu's default magnifier: orca.
BEHAVIOUR:
1. Enabling "Zoom" in Ubuntus "Universal Access" system dialog does: nothing.
2. typing "orca --enable=magnifier" in a terminal (as documented in the man page) does: nothing.
3. Installing package gnome-mag and typing "magnifier" in a terminal does: nothing.
4. Installing package gnome-mag and typing "magnifier --vertical/horizontal" leaves screen completely unusable
Bottom line: orca and gnome-mag shall provide universal acces, but not even me as a fully capable human being can get them to work. How shall a visually impaired person ever get them to work?
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
I can activate a working screen magnifier with at most three simple clicks.
BOTTOM LINE:
Ubuntu claims to be software for human beings. Gnome has usability guidelines. Both is not met in Oneiric.
