Perhaps it will help to understand and to solve the problem : Yesterday I decided to launch the Knoppix Cd 3.2 (which is like Sid I think) in order to see if the behaviour was the same as in the Sid itself. The modconf version is the same as in Sid (0.2.44=; Result : I don't obtain the same behaviour as in Sid, in the Knoppix the modconf utility can be used with VRLTTY as in Woody without trouble. so I don't understand why in Sid the behaviour is not the same. Another thing : When in Sid I try to read the entire screen in modconf it appears that with BRLTTY I can't read all the things ! I can only read the second part of each line, the right part only. Is it the same for you if you have Sid installed ? Or perhaps it's a problem with my video ? I don't know how to do to solve this issue.
