Re: [orca-list] Gnome is Broken on my Box!

Why should I do that? I don't want to be forced into a graphical login
when I just want to use Speakup in the normal console. I usually just
run gnome when I need to and to do that I have always used startx from
the command shell. I would rather fix the modesetting problem or stop
it from using modesetting or something.
