Hello,
Last I heard, the latest version of fedora was running Gnome 2.32 or some form of gnome 2. Orca does work with it but you may need to install the infrastructure. If all else fails, my recommendation is to get the sources for all the packages. This way you can get as close to current Orca as possible. The most current version of Orca I am reasonably sure will run on an enterprise system like Redhat is Orca 3.2--xdesktop which runs on the old accessibility stack. This stack (infrastructure) is made up of at-spi, pyatspi, gail and the atk library. YOu will also need gnome-speech server to get it to talk and Espeak to actually output your speech for you. I suppose you could also get speech dispatcher too but I don't know if Red Hat will have it and I don't know what all you need to build it from source. I agree with Jason that contacting Redhat is a good thing but, I don't think it will help you out of your immediate bind. Try it, I could be wrong. It'll just let them know someone cares about accessibility and wants it and, maybe, someone will bring it up in a board meeting eventually and someone else will agree to allocate resources towards it. Unless, of course, a whole bunch of people join you. The more I think of it, the more I am convinced that the quickest way out of your bind is to get all the a11y sources and build all of it form source. Maybe, there'll be a recent enough version of at-spi and friends to support Orca 3.2-xdesktop but I am not sure. I am definitely sure that this version of Orca is going to be preferable to whatever comes with the version of Gnome in Redhap. I hope this helps, Alex M On 11/7/2012 6:56 PM, Louis Maher wrote: Hello, I am new to this list. I use windows 7, JAWS, and SecureCRT to access the character-based Linux environment. My company is deploying Red Hat 5.6. Is there any graphical accessibility built natively in Red Hat 5.6? Does Orca work in this environment? I can use the Gnome desk-top although most others in my company use the KDE desktop.
