If you are talking about changing for a single app, then tap-hold the apps icon and check the \"run magnified\" checkbox. Don\'t know how you would do it for the whole machine (or why you would want to either)

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.

I'm not getting the "Run Magnified" option on tap and hold...just the run as root option.  Any ideas?

not every application has that by default, but you can always get this option by modifying the program's desktop file:
Look for  /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/[myProgram].desktop
add the following line to the end of the file
Code: [Select]
Display=640x480/144dpi,480x640/144dpiSome program may not  like this though, such as certain versions of Kino2.

Some program may not like this though, such as certain versions of Kino2.

I had figured this out by looking at the .desktop files of other programs.  The problem was it was necessary to reboot in order for that to take effect (at least that's what it took me to get it to work).  I ended up fixing the problem in a roundabout way...some bad install caused my Z to quit running QT, so I reformatted and started fresh (I got a used unit, so stuff was from a previous user).  Now the icons show the Run Magnified box.

I've noticed that a Restart QTopia option is no longer available...is there a way to do this via command line?  I noticed it's not in /etc/rc.d/init.d like opie.

If you have a terminal, you can kill -15 the qpe process. This how I have been restarting QT.

I hope this helps,
