Window-Eyes works great with VirtualBox on top of my Fedora 9 box. I start the virtual machine from the console running 'xinit /usr/bin/VirtualBox -startvm <machine name>'. The only two minor issues I've had so far, are: - I'm using a Handy Tech Braille Star through USB. Although I kill BRLTTY before I start VirtualBox, I often need to re-initialize the braille display inside Window-Eyes to get the braille display working. To me, it seems that the USB port isn't freed early enough for the screen reader to use it. - I can adjust the volume from my Lenovo ThinkPad X61's volume buttons. However, the lowest volume available is a litle bit too high. Going one step lower, turns the sound completely off. I did need to install the GuestAdditions for VirtualBox before I could install Window-Eyes. I did not test Jaws. The Window-Eyes verison I've tested, is 7.01.
