Hi, everybody.
I have my hands on a loaner Alva BC680 which I am trying to get working
with my laptop via USB connection.
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric 64-bit
Orca 3.2.1
Speech-Dispatcher for the speech system
eSpeak for the synthesizer
BRLTTY 4.2
Br
?
THanks!

It looks good from here! Now to see what happens when I hook up the
display... /smile/
Thank you for help with my newbie troubles!

Lee,
Glad to help spread the confusion...
I finally looked up the word "oneiric." It means pertaining to dreams.
Ubuntu 11.10 is nicknames Oneiric Ocelot, so the short form is Oneiric.
Now I know what that Ocelot is doing. /lol/

Okay. Thanks to the assistance from this list, I now have BRLTTY 4.3 up
and running!
However, the loaner Alva BC 680 is still not producing braille for me to
read...
So I ran the following: sudo brltty -bal -v
These are the lines of output that appear to describe the problem:
brltty
(except for the bleeping wheels!)

It does have the advantage over the Alva of displaying braille from my
computer, so that's a good thing! /grin/
Thanks again!

Well, I have learned a lot about BRLTTY and using it for real work (of
sorts) through this, so it ain't a bad thing. /grin/

Dave and Jason,
Thanks for the confirmation. I've been toying with the notion of just
going rogue and hoping I can get it back to good before I have to
sacrifice my firstborn... /grin/
I will send an e-mail to them tomorrow or maybe call the local rep. I
agree with both of you that it ain't

Thanks. This is helpful. I finally made the breakthrough and am reading
on my PM, having figured out how to navigate sanely on it. Whew!
I'm bumming about the Alva, which is much more ergonomic and has all
those buttons and stuff. However, I'm glad I found out about the
