since when? hmmmm. let me think.... since about OpenBSD 4.2 or so. and yes, I still need some visual assistance when doing an install/upgrade.
also, to answer another poster's question: I use speakup from a linux source package (with the proper line in sysctl.conf enabled for linux binaries. getting speakup to compile required that I also install a number of packages not currently in the ports tree. lets just say that it is a real headache. now, orca for X using XFCE works ok. it only requires the GTK dependencies, python 5, some misc dependencies (almost all of which can be found in the ports tree. still, I don't like using X as it can be a little less than intuitive for us blind users. still, given the number of access avenues we can use (serial port redirect, virtual framebuffer devices that can be remotely connected to, cheap sound devices and the like) a number of good possibilities can be taken advantage of. I have had chance to start trouble shooting the raw source code for speakup and I know what the headache it has: sloppy code and failed documentation. considering the time it takes to get that binary working, I am opting for a more hardware solution and get a network capable framegrabber device and run a lane cable from it to a dedicated lane port on my OS X machine. $234 will get me one next month. now, if there were a device/brain interface, then I could see the words in my braincase without the additional distractions of sound. still, it would be glorious to be able to interface in a way thought possible. I wish I could be able to plug right into my brain and show what it has been missing. as for my feat: I installed and hop it works.4.5 openbsd On May 12, 2012, at 2:58 AM, Andri wrote: > 2012/5/12 Eric Oyen <eric.o...@gmail.com> > > > Oh, and Theo, I would understand if you find this idea a little far fetched. > > hahaaaaa...
