Hello John, I second the suggestion from Jason to start in console mode the type startx wheneve needed to start Mate, at least as a workaround.
Now to have lightdm start in tty7 as previously, you could edit the file: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and remove the leading # in this line: #minimum-vt=7 Also check if this variable is set otherwise in this file. About speech in the lightdm greeter and assuming you are running the gtk one, edit the file: /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and include these settings: indicators = ~a11y;~session;~power a11y-states = +reader reader = orca As I am not using Debian but maybe some Debian specific settings come into play, I CC the Debian accessibility mailing list so that Debian users can tell if something works differently in Debian Bookworm.
