There is one possibility of using VoiceOver when working with a Linux VM but I
would expect it would not work very well.
1. Start Linux VM.
2. Start X11 server on the Macintosh and have it connect to the VM.
3. Try using VoiceOver with the X11 Screens.
I have no idea if the X11 window server which is now a download from the Apple
and not usually installed on the OS has any hooks to work with VOiceOVer. But
then the last time I used X11 was in 2009. Hmm, I wonder if XTank would work
with VoiceOVer?
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
