That's really a Debian-specific question rather than a Gnome one, so I don't think this is the right forum for it. Nevertheless, start by installing the gnome package. If this doesn't bring in Orca as a dependency, then install gnome-orca. You seem to want speech output, so be sure that speech-dispatcher is installed as well. Then run orca -t to configure it from the console, and finally start an X session with startx and see if that works. If it doesn't, look for missing dependencies, check for relevant error messages in places such as ~/.xsession-errors etc. I haven't installed a system from scratch for a long time so I don't know the exact sequence of package installations needed to get there. There are a few dependency issues still being resolved in the Debian packages associated with Gnome accessibility and Orca, as discussed on the debian-accessibility list. If you want the latest, you'll need to be running debian Sid, but if that's of concern then at least run Debian testing. Finally, for the latest Firefox/Iceweasel and Libreoffice, Debian's experimental repository is needed at the moment, because the main repositories are tightly controlled while they fix bugs in preparation for a release. _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
