no, it's not a problem specific to Orca users. The default for brltty, at least as we define it, is --prefix=/ (not /usr/local). This is because /usr could be in a separate partition, and, therefore, not mounted right at the outset. Our position is that the braille display is as important to a blind user as the screen is to a sighted user, and that it should be able to become operational as early as possible during the boot sequence. That's why we prefer that it be installed in /bin. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
