Hi.
I use Debian as my Linux distro and (mostly) speakup as my screen
reader. Speakup gives me access to the text console.
>From the libs you mention, it sounds like you are trying to access a
Linux system using only Gnome. At this time, I don't think you will
have much success using Linux with only Gnome accessibility. For now,
the best access to Linux is using a screen reader like speakup, brltty,
or yasr to give you access to the text console.
Hope this helps.
Kenny
