[opensuse-factory] Noone can help?
Hi all, I posted a message a few days back regarding the 11.3 Milestone4 release and accessibility. Since the sound doesn't seem to be working on my machine with this release it would be interesting to see if the accessibility issues have been resolved before I submit a bug. Would anyone be interested in booting the Gnome live CD, pressing F9 to get the talking menu and press enter on Gnome live and see if the Orca screen reader starts after the CD has finished booting?

I can't do this today, but I think I should be able to do this tomorrow and get back to you. Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Hi Stephen and all others, Many thanks for the reply. Alternatively, if you've already got Gnome and the Opensuse 11.3 Milestone4 intsalled try the following: press alt-f2 and type orca. orca should come up talking and it will ask you a few questions. You may need to log out and log in again for the accessibility to be enabled. Once logged in, if you did not chooce to have Orca start automatically, which I think you would not want as a sighted user, hit alt-f2 again and type orca and you should hear Welcome to orca. Then start up Firefox. Use the tab key and see if orca reads the different links that you move across. Also, try launching openoffice Writer and see if orca speaks the menu's and when typing something. To quit orca you can hit insert-q Just let me know if you want to know something else.

Hi Stephen and all others, Many thanks for the reply. Alternatively, if you've already got Gnome and the Opensuse 11.3 Milestone4 intsalled try the following:
My guess is that this issue is related to the fact that we're trying to use the new accessibility stack by default. It might be working better in Factory now (so you'll see in Milestone 5). If it doesn't, then we might want to switch back to the old stack by default. But that's a decision that people with more accessibility-knowledge than me should take.

Hi Vincent, Many thanks for your reply. OK, look forward of trying Milestone5. Any ideas on when it will be available? Does it also contain Gnome 2.30? Many thanks, Christian On 2010-04-06 at 12:15 Vincent Untz wrote:
