What I installed to get this far was: gnome gnome-extra xorg xorg-xinit I then enabled some a11y variables with gsettings maybe too many one for screen reader one for interface and one for plugins. Finally I exported in /etc/profile.d gail and atk. If I try logging in running startx from command line I have no speech but can login and if I run orca as a command the way would in gnome-terminal inside of X11 orca runs and says screen-reader on but can do nothing else. If I use gdm to login after enabling gdm.service and rebooting the system I hear screen-reader on but no further speech happens. Fortunately I can get into mate on debian with startx and login and have orca working after that (I'd just like to learn enough so I could do it on archlinux too) and If no coherent documentation yet exists I wouldn't mind contributing to it so as to make this path for others later.
