[orca-list] A few newbie Questions (mainlyfor good doc-pointers probably)

[Julien Claassen <julien c-lab de>]

Hello everyone!
  I installed Orca a few days ago. This is really my first time trying it with 
intention to make use of it. A few questions arose, after having read the 
online docs at gnome.org. They didn't seem to be particuarly helpful.

1. Web browser; which one to use? I've tried epiphany and iceweasel, both 
didn't seem to good. My problem is, tht in either of them I can't really 
reliably read the webcontent. some navigation hints might be nice. My first 
starting example was youtube, for it featuring some javscript and the video 
popups of course.

2. Braille display. I noticed, that the braille display doesn't seem to 
reliable. the speech output gave more info. any tips to get more out of the 
braille display. If it's important, I have a PM EL40S.

3. speech output: Does GNOME Speech have some config dialogue foraudio devices 
and such? It might also be interesting, if not necessary, to try a few 
different voices. I'm normally working with JACK all the time and I have my 
usual default ALSA device set to connect to JACK, using ALSA's JACK plugin. 
that didn't work upto now.

4. I tried to configure gdm, using gdmsetup, butthat always killed Orca or 
froze GNOME. The rest of the system is still running. Hints on that?

5. For th time being, last: is there a nice "getting started guide" for GNOME 
+ keyboard shortcuts? Something which covers a little more than just the gnome 
docs?

  I'm sorry, if I asked a few questions, which might have been asked before, 
but a nice workload dosn't give me much time to do detailed searching on that, 
especially since I don't know boolocks about the GUI. A few basic shortcuts 
and movements, that's all.
  Thanks for readng thus far and pondering it.
  Kindest regards
            Julien
