I think we should follow up on this and try to raise awareness upstream, or at least file a bug for it in our bts. For a 100% blind person, it totally makes sense to use X11 without a screen turned on, or even connected. In fact, if desktop accessibility is good enough, it should even allow sighted users to use their desktop without a connected screen, which can be a nice escape route in exceptional situations. Also, I do know stories of accessibility testing where a sighted application developer is instructed to try and use their application without a monitor. Simply not looking there does not really work, so people ideally turn their monitor off. Considering DVI, does X11 fail also if a modern monitor is just turned off? While I usually have a screen attached to allow cooperation with sighted users, I can perfectly see how other users would try to use X11 without a screen attached. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
