Re: [orca-list] Cannot use my Braille display with Orca... screen not in text mode.

[Dorado Martínez, Francisco Javier <FDMA once es>]

Hi all

Fabrizio, that is OK, you have started BRLTTY and now you can enable braille support in Orca preferences dialog in the braille tab .

I think BRLTTY is started at boot time automatically, but perhaps you will need to edit /etc/brltty.conf and set your braille display preferences, your braille driver al, and your braille device /dev/ttyS0
Save the file, and run sudo /etc/init.d/brltty restart


Hope this help

Regards,
Javier
