Re: [orca-list] [slightly OT]: Please help, X starts and no keyboard

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

What command did you use to start gdm?
When I installed arch I used the following command:
sudo systemctl start gdm

Probably you'll need some sighted assistance in the login because orca 
is not started automatically.
After login press alt+f2 and type orca.
