[orca-list] brltty, ubuntu and orca

[Cheryl Homiak <chomiak charter net>]

Hello all.

I hope somebody can direct me to this information.  Is there a way to 
start brltty automatically when starting orca in ubuntu? On my debin box, 
I have brltty starting at bootup; it works in the consoles and once I 
start orca it also works there. But in ubuntu I don't see how to start 
brltty at bootup; I've resorted to starting brltty with "sudo" in a 
console and then logging in to orca. This kind of works, but results in 
some odd noises and extra characters from the braille display (braillelite 
40 in this case) a bit reminiscent of what happens when you end up with 
more than one instance of brltty except that I'm not having extra 
characters typed when I input commands or edit fields. I suspect there 
must be a better way to do this. I am using ubuntu on my Mac in vmware 
fusion and am careful to make sure that brltty is not running in my mac 
terminal and that the usbserial connection is connected in the ubuntu 
virtual machine and not anywhere else. Any help with this would be 
appreciated.

thanks.
