I don't know why startx was complaining about an nvidia card since when
I ran the card identification command on the arch wiki page the card was
identified as a radeon r370. Be that as it may, I got radeon packages
downloaded and startx when run allows me to login and running orca
starts orca up but nothing is displayed on the screen after that happens
probably since I didn't have xorg run mate for me correctly yet.
Interestingly the nvidia instructions had the card identification
command in them but I didn't find it in the radeon instructions so
reading through nvidia material wasn't a total loss.

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.
