Hello, Didier here. I just checked on Slint, installing i3 for the first time It can be started with startx (in Slint, I just selected it typing session-chooser) and yes orca works with i3 as long as the apps you use are accessible. This is of course the case for Firefox. Only caveat: in Slint I had to type orca& from a terminal to get it started. I didn't investigate why (yet) as I am busy doing other things. Which distribution are you using? -- Didier Spaier Slint maintainer http://slint.fr On 9/10/18 9:44 PM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > So how would I handle the login greater?
