If debian when speech is used for installation had an option to start in
console and run startx or ratpoison or stumpwm to get to the graphical
environment then you would have no need to log in with orca at all.

Subject: Debian Stretch: how to get spoken login prompt and retrieve tty1
Greetings!
I ran into some problems when I upgraded from jessie to stretch this fall.
I'd like to fix these two especially without having to reinstall.
First, when I used jessie, Orca spoke at login time. Now, it doesn't. I
guess when to do it, and then I get a message from Orca like "screen reader
on, 17 pushbutton." (I guess this last thing is supposed to be a "feature,"
since I also got it on the stretch live CD, but I don't know what it's good
for.) For this problem, what can I change to get back my spoken login prompt?
Second, after I've hit ENTER on this "pushbutton," I can do my usual press of
the Windows key and run firefox or whatever. However, if I go to another
terminal to use speakup, for example, tty1 no longer works--or, at least, I
have to log in there again. Typically, tty2 or sometimes another one becomes
my graphical terminal. I end up minus a terminal. Does anyone know if this
is fixable?
I've tried using Google and the Debian site itself for direction, but so far
have found nothing.
Also, this is an Intel x86-64 machine, in case it matters.
Thanks for any help, or for pointers to information.
Al
