Larry,
There are no screenreaders for x-window. It is a purely graphical 
environment. However, the Gnome project is developing Gnopernicus, which 
is a screen reader giving both Braille and speech access. Gnome is built 
on top of x-window. 
I am using Linux exclusively in my work. The only adaptive technology I 
use is a Braille display and the BRLTTY screenreader.
