Re: [orca-list] GDM accessible login on Ubuntu gutsy. A success!

Hi,
Which speech synthesizer will be used by default in the setup you describe 
below?


I vote for espeak. To date I think distributions have tended to default
to festival, but espeak is far better suited to AT needs, and it's
sufficiently mature, imho.

Hey folks.
Just writing to let you all know that I have managed to get accessible login on GDM working with Ubuntu 
Gutsy, and its quite simple. Simply follow the following steps.

1. Open /etc/gdm/gdm.conf in the editor of your choice.
2. Find the following lines, and remove the # from the beginning of each line:

#AddGtkModules=true
#GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener

3. Restart gdm.

To use Orca with speech only, press Control S for 1 second. To use magnification, press control M for 1 
second. To use speech and magnification, press either Control O or Control G for 1 second.

These commands are adjustable in /etc/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents. The syntax is explained at the 
top of the file.

I hope to get this better integrated for Ubuntu hardy, to the point where accessibility is launched by 
default, if the user so desires.

Hope this helps some.
