I sent this message privately by mistake, so forward it to the list.
John, sorry for the duplicate

No John, under X brltty can only work through Orca.

PS I do not use pipewire, do you?

I doubt that can help, but here are the sources for lightdm in Slint:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/lightdm/
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/

But we have a very old versions, so no idea if our set up would still work
with a recent one. Our gdm is even older, but speaks...

Me, I do a console login then type startx...

As the saying goes "if everything else fails, try Slint." <smile>

I know, I know: Gentoo, nothing else...

Good luck, anyway.

Cheers,
Didier
