Re: [orca-list] Any other distros lighter than ubuntu mate?



I don't think a window manager is strictly required if you just want
to run a single GUI application with Orca like a Kiosk... that said, I
remember reading somewhere that attempting to do this will render
additional windows(e.g. open and save file dialog boxes, warning
dialogs, etc.) spawned by the main GUI app to be inaccessible.

That said, I'm running Orca with Firefox with essentially nothing to
support thembut:
xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg-input-evdev
xserver-xorg-video-vesa
xserver-xorg-legacy
xinit
flwm(smallest window manager I've tried that worked as well as any
heavier wm I've tried).

And it's possible that if I understood what the script my distro ships
to launch Firefox with Orca in a stripped down xserver was doing, I
might be able to swap the vesa driver for the dummy video driver and
ditch legacy, but the most I've figured out is how todrop down to the
above from xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-input-all, and
xserver-xorg-video-all and how to switch from compiz to the window
manager of my choice.
