A.1.3 Additional Requirements for Accessible Login

To enable the Accessible Login feature to use alternative pointing devices and switch devices such as sip-and-puff switches, wheelchair-mounted switches, or trackballs, you might need to modify your X server system configuration to recognize these devices. You can use most devices that emulate mouse buttons with the Accessible Login feature and On-Screen Keyboard, including USB single switches and mouse-like pointing devices.

In the Java Desktop System Release 3 for Solaris, the gdm user has a readable home directory. If this setting is removed on Solaris systems for security reasons, Screen Reader and Magnifier will not function properly during Accessible Login.

You should not configure an alternative input device to control the primary onscreen pointer. This might result in undesirable behavior or cause situations from which the user of the alternate input device cannot recover without using the primary keyboard or mouse. To prevent this problem, please remove any occurrences of the attributes SendCore or AlwaysCore from any of InputDevice lines in the X Server configuration file.
