Re: [orca-list] Speaking Login Prompt

[John covici <covici ccs covici com>]

I have never been able to get accessible login to work.  Does it
require a specific version of gdm?  I am using gnome 2.26 and latest
version of orca, but my gdm is 2.24.1 because the newer versions try
to use the wrong console and I have to reboot the computer!
