Orca gets its information from the accessibility API (at-spi) rather
than relying on trying to gain information from the screen. You
shouldn't encounter problems with orca. However I have noticed that my
laptop has some bugs in the hardware which makes it undesireable to
turn off the screen (basically it doesn't always restore settings
correctly should I need to turn it on again whilst running, if you use
the switch on the lid to turn off the backlight (IE. shut the lid) it
can crash the system, etc). Windows drivers do have work arounds built
in so most users don't notice these problems, but for linux users
sometimes these problems cause alot of annoyance. BTW: When you say turning off the screen how do you mean turning off the screen? I believe I may have followed what you meant because of your comment that JFW doesn't like it (it sounds like you are disabling the video hardware). The other way (which isn't fully turning off the screen) is to just turn of the backlight in the LCD panel (this takes out one power hungry component although more power could be saved by disabling all the video hardware, not sure how much). If it were possible to turn off the backlight only (not sure how) nothing should complain about it as graphics is still being produced, there's no light to see the images though. This may not be explained best but I think the general idea is there. Michael Whapples On 23/12/42 19:59, James & Nash wrote:
