I'm about to phone be my eyes after this holiday and find out what's going on with the screen. I did a bit more reading so installed xorg-init and its dependencies leaving twm out and installing xterm since I've read ratpoison and xterm get along well enough. I got speech-dispatcher-git and festival working and have orca on the machine too. After running startx and hearing the information speak about xorg and having speech go silent I don't have orca coming up once alt-f2 and orca is run. I'll check if gsettings is on this machine and try a couple orca accessibility commands done by gsettings to see if those help before calling be my eyes though since those may help. I prefer logging in on command line then only starting up graphical if I need something graphical can do better since that way I'm already logged in.
