Re: [orca-list] orca command-line configuration question, some success!

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

Hi everyone,
I now seem to have orca coming up each time I run startx from the user I 
created for experimentation.
Although somewhat by accident, I do not have a gui login coming up at 
boot, which is actually what I prefer.
So I believe I have mate installed as the desktop for this gui user of 
mine.  It does not say a lot, but I once succeeded to get to a place where 
I could type a command by pressing alt-f2.
I tried firefox and could get to a web site.
As you can gather, I think since the very old versions of Orca/desktops I 
used, things have changed a lot.

I do not have to use mate, but since that is what I seem to have going 
now, I need some tutorial spesific to orca use with mate, since I do not 
know either of the two.

I had a look at the orca manual, but what I saw looks like it assumes that 
one knows how to operate the desktop and goes into things like navigating 
documents etc.

Any pointers, even just to the relevant section of the orca manual, would 
be welcome.
Kind regards, Willem
