Hy,

I doed now with Ubuntu 12.04 installation, without manual partitioning.
I try look possible setting LightDm related a11y settings in terminal.
I try run sudo -u lightdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface 
toolkit-accessibility true command, but this command don't working.
Try similar command after I installed Gdm package, I simple run old sudo 
-u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility 
true command.

Look following error messages:
root at hammera-Satellite-L300:/home/hammera# sudo -u lightdm gsettings set 
org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true

This is surprise, because I think the casper-a11y-helper script doing 
similar command for LightDm login manager, if the blindness profile is 
selected (access=v3 commandline parameter). Because have now this 
errors, during installation this commands runs, but not setting proper?
How can possible setting in LightDm the accessible login feature? Unity 
Greeter already supports it for screen reader function?
