I know a skilled programmer/cryptologist who can no longer use a |
2 |
keyboard. He has an EyeGaze system (http://www.eyegaze.com/) |
3 |
but apparently the software that comes with it kind of stinks so |
4 |
he's getting very frustrated. The method of using EyeGaze to control a |
5 |
Windows PC via a serial port is supposedly based on a documented |
6 |
standard, so I think setting it up to control a Linux PC should be doable. |

I'm a complete novice in the topic of accessibility, so any |
9 |
advice that applies to handling low mobility with Free Software |
10 |
would be much appreciated. |

Some specific questions I've turned up so far: |
13 |
|
14 |
* Anyone have experience with dasher? |
15 |
Can you configure dasher to handle the whole desktop, including menus? |
16 |
If so, does that require everything be a gnome app to work properly? |
17 |
|
18 |
* Does Linux have any support for the standard called GIDEI, short for |
19 |
General Input Device Emulating Interface? (This is what EyeGaze uses |
20 |
for Windows control) |
