Re: [orca-list] No speech from orca in GUI in arch but espeakup works fine.

[matthew dyer <ilovecountrymusic483 gmail com>]

Is there a way to disable the screen saver with speakup? Is there a wiki link to the orca or what? I am not 
sure what the screen saver has to do with orca, but will take a look. I don’t recall having to doing anything 
to get orca running before. I think it was a Chang in arch at some point.
