Re: problem with festival

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Michael,

The GNOME 2.12 Live CD accessibility support is broken in multple ways.  There 
are three problems we've discovered that are preventing Gnopernicus from 
talking with festival: (1) libatk-bridge needs to be included; (2) we need an 
/etc/festival.scm file specifying that festival in client-server mode can talk 
to/from the machine booted by the Live CD; (3) we need to rev. to the just 
released Gnopernicus version 0.12 to pick up a bug fix in the GConf entries 
for Braille ports that we discovered in GNOME 2.12 Live CD testing.

We are working to spin up a new GNOME 2.12 Live CD.  When it is ready I'll 
send out an announcement on this alias.


Regards,

Peter Korn
