The answer is indeed yes. In the case of a serial port, BRLTTY needs to access the port in order to detect an attached braille display. Bluetooth requires detection of a paired device, which udev can't do. Think of it this way: udev detects the Bluetooth controller, but you need BRLTTY to operate that controller so as to search for an available braille display. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
