Hi all on this list, First, I really apologize if this is off list, but I had trouble registering on the forum's. But OK, now to my problem. I used Gnome in the passed, v2.30 with no issues and I had to do a reinstall of my system and now I am running the latest Arch. However, Gnome seems to be working fine, I think, but I am having problems when I try to use Orca, the screen reader for Gnome. I am visually impaired so I rely on speech and or braille. Here is a short summery of what I did after the installation of Arch was complete I added my user and added it to some of the groups, like audio,video,storage,optical, etc. Then, I did: pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils pacman -S xf86-video-ati pacman -S gnome gnome-extra pacman -S xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse rc.d start dbus pacman -R gnome-shell gnome-screensaver /etc/rc.d/gdm start Isn't this correct for getting Gnome up and running? Many thanks for any help, Christian
