But Yast as the tool during installation of xSuse (Suse in any flavor) should also include a11y support. In the OpenSuse-GNOME team, we have discussed two ideas for a11y support:
1) Built-in functionality: During installation, users should automatically get screen magnification support. In other words, if you press a certain series of hot-keys, a screen magnifier will appear and you can proceed throughout the installation with mouse-based magnification. This is useful not just for visually-impaired people, but for anyone who may struggle with seeing what's on the screen due to resolution problems, etc. 2) During the first cycle of the Yast Installation, just after the Software selection phase but before the reboot, there should be a screen that offers users to enable a11y features of their preference. That way, when installation is finished, a11y suport is enabled. If a11y support is not enabled by the time you reach your login screen for the very first time, that user may be screwed, depending on her/his a11y needs until somebody else comes along and makes the settings for them. But if the a11y user *IS* the administrator, then Houston, we have a problem here. :-) -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
