Hi,

I can not find that "tool" there.

I found a wiki page entry: 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/Magnification

which I did not understand at all. The links to demo videos are all 
broken and the configuration options for gnome-control-center which 
relates to the zoom options can also not be found on my desktop.

Can someone point me to a page which give me a step by step advisory how 
I can enable zoom?

In the meantime I disabled wayland and installed Xorg which enables 
touch screen support and xmag is also running again. That enables fixing 
the hinting problem which comes up with new fedora distro.

So many related probelms...

Regards
  Klaus
