Title: Zoom Zoom
Post by: nontrivial on January 04, 2005, 05:09:47 pm

On my SLC-750 some apps look really, really, eye strainingly tiny. Off the top of my head, mahjong and solitaire. Is there a way to "zoom" the screen like you could in the stock ROM?

No way until further research and programming efforts in the touchscreen library.

We know how switch to 320x240 w/ ATI W100 but we don't know how to make the touchscreen work then.

Same thing on 6000. What about doing a software thing.. simply give an option to display an app quadrupled.. keeping the res at vga. Maybe via sdl? I realy don't know how this would be done, but it looks from here like it might provide an interrim solution

qcop "QPE/System" "setCurrentMode(int,int,int)" 240 320 16

and

qcop "QPE/System" "setCurrentMode(int,int,int)" 480 640 16

With various parameters will do all the zooming you need.

These qcop commands don't do anything on my SL-6000L - system pauses for a second, the screen flashes, and the resolution is still 480x640

Tried again today and these same qcop commands do indeed work on my 6000 must have mis-typed yesterday)

BUT

just as Mickeyl indicated, the touchscreen doesn't respond while zoomed...

rats!

Hmm, I was using this for ages on 3.5.1 & 3.5.2 to run mplayer in accellerated mode and the touchscreen seemed to work. Have to zoom to 320x240 to get fullscreen.

Is this non functional touchscreen only on certain models as it certainly seemed to work on my C860.

It did for sure within Opie?
