Re: [orca-list] orca not speaking after screen is locked

OK, thanks for that -- I do everything in emacs -- including Email and
usenet, so this is a real bummer.  So is there any way in the world to
get text from a regular console into gnome, so I can use firefox
rather than a text browser?

And if you know, what would emacs have to do to itself to make it work
with orca -- it is compiled with gtk and I thought this would make
things speak.

I did want xterm because of VT220 emulation -- is there another
alternative for that?
