There is an example: braille-device serial:ttyS0 # First serial device. Just replace ttyS0 by ttyUSB0. A tip regarding the PowerBraille and USB-to-serial adaptors: The PowerBraille uses hardware flow control in a somewhat strange way which can lead to it not working with certain USB-to-serial adaptors. If it doesn't work with your current adaptor, make sure to try a different brand before giving up. > I could not quite understand what the format was. Every device specifier should be prefixed by a bus type (serial, usb, bluetooth), followed by a colon and a string which specifies the device to use. In case of serial, this string just names a device file relative to /dev, in case of usb this string usually specifies a device serial number (in case you have several USB displays connected), and in case of bluetooth, this specifies the bluetooth address of your remote device. > Secondly, I want to use Brltty in both console and X-Windows for Orca. > How would I set this up properly in the "brltty.conf" file? If you are using a Debian package of BRLTTY, Orca should just work out of the box, you dont need to configure anything in /etc/brltty.conf to make BrlAPI clients work. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
