Magnifer and touchpad in Kubuntu
I've just started working on a laptop which I'm trying to make accessible for me, and it has Ubuntu, and is setup with KDE. At the moment I have no preferences for KDE or Gnome, as I've not really used either successfully. I normally use Solaris, and nowadays normally from a Windows machine using PuTTY. My problems are that I need about 4x or greater magnification, usually 4x will do, and that I've been having problems with the touchpad. I've been finding that when I move the mouse over some icons in order to magnify them, they are activated as if I have double-clicked on them. I don't know if this is some function of the touchpad on the toshiba touchpad or of some configuration somewhere, but I'd like this behaviour to stop. I have enough difficulty positioning the cursor accurately with the touchpad as it is, and it may be as a result that I'm pressing too hard. Trying to use a separate mouse, I have the mouse lock up (on logout) so I'm not confident about that working properly with all programs. Now, the magnifier, I can get it to display with enough magnification, but I can't seem to control the size of magnified display; I can set it to doc with the top of the screen but I can't vary it's vertical height. Maybe there's a configuration file I can set. I've tried to find stuff in the manual (man(1) command) and on the web sites, to no avail. Can anyone point me at specific docs for these, please? Thank you, Hugh -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Speech Dispatcher 0.6.5rc1 (help with testing)
Hello, we are preparing a 0.6.5 release of Speech Dispatcher and would like to ask you for help with testing it before the final release. Bellow is a short description of the improvements. You can download the .tar.gz from http://www.freebsoft.org/pub/projects/speechd/speech-dispatcher-0.6.5rc1.tar.gz (we prefer if you use this version for testing rather than CVS) * What is new in 0.6.5? - Pulse Audio sound output support. - Speech Dispatcher is now adapted for easy setup and using under ordinary system user accounts. - Bugfixes. NOTES (0.6.5) - There are changes in the configuration file. It is highly recommended to replace your speechd.conf file with the speechd.conf provided in this package and copy your settings there. The old configuration file should however also work. - Default output module has been switched to espeak. Please report any bugs at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .
