-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've tried it a long time ago, and found the show stopper for me was right when I tried to run the window-eyes setup program, wine just crashed there at the beginning. When I brought this up on this list a while ago, someone suggested just taking the already installed window-eyes directory from my standard windows installation, and trying to run wineyes with a hardware synth, (since the software speech part is where the setup crashed), and see what happens. However, I haven't ever gotten around to trying that. No, you don't need a x desktop running, as long as you don't plan to interact with the x session directly. Janina posted a way to do this a while ago via running xv in /etc/inittab in response to my asking if there was a way to do such a thing. Basically, this would start a x session for you on a designated display, which you would then export in your shell, so that programs such as wine can use it. Maybe Janina will see this, and repost those instructions again, or if not, I think I have that mail saved here somewhere, I can try to dig it up, and repost it. It should also of course be in the list archives, but I don't remember the thread, or the year it was posted.
