Re: [orca-list] Lightdm configuration to use orca on Arch with Mate desktop.

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Well, maybe I misunderstood.

Does Braille work in a console, like if you press Ctrl+Alt+F2 when 
lightdm has started? If not that is not an issue with Orca.

But if you mean that Braille doesn't work in the login window of lightdm 
if Orca is not started, it is to be expected as nothing sends an output 
to brltty in this case.

Cheers,
Didier
