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



Hi.

I did get some results configuring gdm for accesible login on Debian Sid.
The AddGtkModules and GtkModulesList lines aren't in Debian's gdm.conf file by default.  They were added when
I ran gdmsetup and chose to enable accessible login.  After I restarted gdm, I could start ORca with
control-s.  However, ORca couldn't read anything.  At this point, I'm not sure what is wrong, but I'll play 
with it some more
and post my final results.

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.
