Re: [orca-list] which distro for testing orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

The other option is to just use startx from the xorg-xinit package I tink it is called. 
That way if you do much on the commandline you can boot very quickly to a text console, and then start your 
gui when and where you need it. 
Do not forget to kill speakup before running startx. I  haven't yet figured  out how to send the keystroke 
via script to kill speakup, so I just type 
startx, or actually usually an alias  for it, press the printscreen key to kill speech on that console, and 
hit enter to get my graphical session going. 
I have scripts to modify my ~/.xinitrc file, or just swap one for another depending on the desktop I wish to 
run. 
The little downside to this approach is the need to sometimes kill off speech-dispatch processes when 
shutting down the GUI to go back to a pure CLI 
environment, but I just script that too.
