Re: [orca-list] Problems installing Fedora Workstation 36

Thanks Matthew that worked perfectly.


Does anyone know if there's an open issue for this that I can add my 
support to?


I'm assuming at some point the mainstream distributions like Fedora will 
drop support for Xorg, so if we haven't got all the Wayland 
accessibility bugs sorted out by then we'll be stuck!


Regards,


Nick
