Hello Dave, I use an Alva Satellite 544, connected via USB and together with Speech-Dispatcher as speech support. As I wrote, I performed "make distclean" and "./autogen" as well. Strange is the fact, that under Orca I could use the braille keys without any problem. Cursor routing however does

I have a plan (see next paragraph) which will resolve your problem in a very simple way. My problem is that I don't want to implement it until 3.8 is out as, at this point, I really want to ensure stability. I intend to release 3.8 as soon as Orca and LSR tell me that they're satisfied. I believe L

[BRLTTY] BrlAPI and contiguous displays

2007-04-29 Thread Mario Lang
Hi. I've seriously started to use Orca with a Modular Evolution 88. Currently, the "status cells" (the display is contiguous, i.e. there is no break between the 80 cells and the remaining 8 cells) can not be used by Orca. This is 1. slightly confusing since the BRLTTY status cell info is still s

Hello Dave, I always install as follows: cd brltty (from my roots home) svn update ./autogen ./configure make make install Your suggestion also does not work. The make command returns "no target found", and I've to perform ./configure before continueing. Do I really need no "make install"? I perfor
