Incidentally you should be able to enable this by default so sightless people don't have the bootstrapping problem of enabling TTS. There is some documentation on the new GDM configuration here: http://live.gnome.org/GDM/2.22/Configuration Unfortunately GConf is overly complex to use (a bug we would like to fix), but this page describes how to use GConf to set GDM's system-wide settings: https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/desktop-guide/s1-ddg-intro-gconf-default-mandatory.html So for example: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type=boolean -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/accessibility/screen_reader_enabled true -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
