Actually, initramfs moves the /dev hierarchy over to the new root directory, so the /dev directory is actually not different, but I guess it could happen that brltty still lives in the old root. > The missing devices probably never get created within the root file > system where brltty is started. > >>And, what device could I have been missing? > > vcsa<n> and tty<n> I just checked, tty<n> exists, but vcsa1 is the only device that exists (because init has not yet started and there are no gettys yet). > Note that brltty does try to create them within the writable directory but it > won't be able to if that directory either doesn't exist or isn't writable. So I could rpbobably also just set -W /dev ? -- 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.
