[Grml] grml-x, xorg ...

[Dietmar Segbert]

Hello,
i have installed grml squeeze on a asus eeepc 1005ha-m.
I sue speakup and brltty, because i am blind.

Now i want to use gnomes-orca with firefox and openoffice with gnome.

At the moment i do not have installed gnome.
If i do:

grml-x

the xserver starts, but i can not come back to the textconsole. ctrl-alt-
f(x) will not work, also not the ctrl-alt-bacspace to shutdown the
xserver.

How can i set the xorg correct for the asus 1005ha-m?

How can i start the xserver to console tty7?
On my system are only the consoles tty1 to tty6for switching between
themself configurede, ist that correct?

Can i use orca with fluxbox?

Thanks for your help and regards.

Dietmar

... why not try ADRIANE-KNOPPIX 6.4.4. CD?
ftp://mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/knoppix/

It is a special version for blind peoples Klaus Knopper has developed
because his wife is also blind.

[John G. Heim]

There is also vinux, a ubuntu fork for blind users:

http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Adaptive-Technologies/Vinux-43337.shtml

I am also blind but I usually use grml in character mode.

Hi,

Post by Dietmar Segbert
i have installed grml squeeze on a asus eeepc 1005ha-m.
I sue speakup and brltty, because i am blind.
Now i want to use gnomes-orca with firefox and openoffice with gnome.
At the moment i do not have installed gnome.
grml-x
the xserver starts, but i can not come back to the textconsole. ctrl-alt-
f(x) will not work, also not the ctrl-alt-bacspace to shutdown the
xserver.

This sounds strange. Are you speaking about Grml 2010.12?

Post by Dietmar Segbert
How can i set the xorg correct for the asus 1005ha-m?

It's supposed to work out of the box, if not it's either a bug in
X.org or in your hardware. :)

Post by Dietmar Segbert
How can i start the xserver to console tty7?

Should be the default, but you can force it running
'grml-x --force --display 7 ...'

Post by Dietmar Segbert
On my system are only the consoles tty1 to tty6for switching between
themself configurede, ist that correct?

For grml2hd: yes.

Post by Dietmar Segbert
Can i use orca with fluxbox?

Could work (never tried on my own though), but at least until you've
a working setup I recommend using it inside gnome before.
Installing gnome-core and 'grml-x gnome-session' (IIRC it's called
gnome-session) should do that.

Hope this helps,

regards,

This helps a lot. I've also been having trouble using grml-x from a
grml-small iso. I haven't complained since it's a grml-small squeeze
iso I made with grml-live.

Yeah, the official grml-small doesn't ship X.org. :)

BTW: I strongly recommend using grml-medium as a base for
remastering (in general, unless you have a really good reason to do
otherwise :)), especially if you want to use X.org.
