Older Computers and New Speech Engines

[Willem van der Walt]

When you have heard the second sound, try pressing alt-f2 and type, 
blindly, orca 
See if it start speaking.
If not, try alt-f2 again and type orca -t for setting up orca.
There is a orca-list at gnome.org where all these answers are given, and 
there is a wikki for which I cannot recall the address right now too.
If you hear the drums and another sound afterwards, It indicates that your 
x windows is started and secondly, that gnome has been started.
Regards, Willem
