Hi, Nick,
In that case, the best place to do some digging is the ubuntu
accessibility forum. Unfortunately, I don't have the url handy for
you to go and browse archived messages and so forth. I suspect a
google or two will help you find it. Anyway, this was a subject of
discussion a few months back so you will undoubtedly find some
postings which will set you on the right path for a stock ubuntu 11.04
installation with accessibility turned on.
Hope things work out well for you,
alex M
