Re: [orca-list] Speaking Login Prompt

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Pete:

This is known as "Accessible Login" -- for some reason, it's tricky to 
keep it working from release to release of GNOME.  It typically works 
well on OpenSolaris, but can even break there from time to time.

After you've enabled it, you can launch Orca at the login prompt as 
described here:

http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/nightly/sysadmin-30.html.en

The typical operating procedure is this:

1) Enable a sound to be played when the login prompt appears
2) Type the keystroke (press and hold Ctrl+s for more than a second)
3) Login

If it doesn't work on your system, you need to log a bug with the OS 
distribution since accessible login failure is often (not always) a 
problem with accessibility integration from the OS distribution.
