One other alternative would be to introduce a braille driver parameter to enable compatibility to other display types in the Baum driver, and set it to off by default. This way, a user that is using the compatibility modes of a Vario could enable this easily in his/her config file, and the other users would be protected from false-positives by default. >> AFAIR, the compatibility mode is for the Vario 40 models, >> that display only has 40 cells by default.

Yes, after I sent the mail I remembered that I was once using a Vario 80 which also had the compatibility modes. -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
