Finally the AT stuff has landed on the standard live CD! Yay!
I did a quick test of the 5 different modes. The packages seem to be
there but some tweaking will be needed.
== High contrast mode ==
* It starts up directly with HC icons
* However it's not using the full HC theme
* It should have a large font and HC widgets
* We should select a plain background
* Some icons are missing (known issue)
The full HC theme is actually installed and can be activated with a few
clicks, so it should be a minor configuration issue.
== Magnifier ==
* It is installed, but not enabled by default
* You have to enable it an log out+in, then it works
* It has 8x zoom by default; I think we agreed to go with 4x?
* It has the poor standard magnifier placement of 320, 0, 639, 479
* I think we agreed to place it at the bottom of the screen
After tweaking the setup a bit, it seems to run well, following the
cursor and all that.
== Screen reader ==
* Installed, but not activated by default (as above)
* More seriously, I could not get it to speak
* ESD is disabled as it should be
== Keyboard enhancements ==
* Starts up on boot and works perfectly as expected
* It would be nice to also add the key modifier notification panel applet
== On screen keyboard ==
* Won't start -- from the terminal it crashes with an error
* It runs fine on my installed dapper system though, so there is hope
== Other ==
* Dasher is also installed by default
* Espresso seems to work well with the HC theme; I did not test it
with the other tools
I'll write this up more properly later in the wiki and start filing bugs
and looking for solutions ...
