Re: [orca-list] Building rpm problem

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

I'm glat to hear the latest rpm of Orca from our Speakup Modified
repository is doing braille properly. Thatis indeed good news, because
there were problems with braille support in recent months.

Magnification support should also be present in the same rpm. You should
also have gnome-mag installed for magnification. Please let me know if
there are issues with magnification, or if something develops regarding
braille or speech, for that matter.
