Once I followed those instructions, I had temporarily a stable
accessible environment as far as that can be managed on archlinux. Some
updates that I got as near as I can tell broke ability to login. Beyond
that, there's no audible indication as to when to login on lightdm with
archlinux so accessibility will continue to be accidental until that
problem gets solved one way or the other. I had to use a
talkingarchlinux install disk to disable lightdm to even be able to get
to ssh and write this e-mail. I have a
/usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav file but don't know which file to
edit to have that sound play at the correct time. I did find out
/etc/rc.local has the sound playing about a minute too early.

Hello,
I don't see any problems with the Mate Desktop. Its like running Gnome2 when
it was around.

With gdm and lightdm both are triggered by sudo -H systemctl enable gdm or
sudo -H systemctl enable lightdm. When these break though that talkingarch
install disk is real useful as a rescue disk to run systemctl disable
commands on those display managers. I found gdm better able to work with
orca but the desktop interface is different from mate and none too easy to
bring up a list of apps.

Hello,
I think you need tofollow these instructions
http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/mate_install
I've installed mate on my arch machine a few times and everything works.
The login manager... Well you'd probably have to set it to auto log unless
your using gdm.

I found xorg when it works to work well. A debian system with xorg and
mate on it is where it runs very well.
A modified talkingarchlinux system xorg does not work I think my nvidia
CK-804 card is too old for it. The talkingarchlinux system has mate and
mate-extra installed on it along with speech-dispatcher-git and this is
what I find strange. If I run yelp which is the mate help system that
talks. If I try alt-f1 or alt-f2 those don't talk and neither does
alt-control-tab. I installed orca with all dependencies on
talkingarchlinux system so this shouldn't be happening unless I need to
find a replacement for xorg. Some replacements do exist it's just a
matter of selecting the correct one.
