[BRLTTY] LFS & BRLTTY SVN setup problem

2007-08-23 Thread Georgina Joyce
Hi I've installed the SVN version of BRLTTY without any problems on my Linux From Scratch box. However, I can't get my Brailliant 40 working. By looking at the online reference manual I should have a utility called scrtest to troubleshoot my problem but I don't appear to have this utility. D

Just to give some resolution to this, I just recompiled brltty without gpm support (Thanks to Gentoo, I just had to turn off the gpm keyword for this package and re-emerge it). Obviously, it's no longer trying to connect to brltty, so it's happy now. I'll try rebuilding with gpm support when the n

Hello all. I have my braillenote 32 and am trying to boot the live cd of lfs 6.3 pre1. I boot and at the second beep at the boot prompt I type: linux brltty=bn,ttyS0 and I let it boot. It will not display anything. I seem to be the only one having problems after I do all my google searching
