Re: [orca-list] getting gdm screen to talk

[covici ccs covici com]

OK, what is the debian-gdm at the end  -- is  that supposed to be the
user or what?

Also, thanks for the keystroke, it did not work, but I may have some
other problems.  I did try to run orca by hand after exporting
DISPLAY=:0 in a terminal logged in as root and I got screen reader on,
but nothing after that.
