[g-a-devel]Gnopernicus, Brltty and Garnome Problems

["John J. Boyer" <director chpi org>]

Hello,

This is probably the only list where someone will understand what I am 
talking about. I installed garnome-0.27.1 and installed the desktop, which 
in turn installs Gnopernicus. I had previously installed brltty-3.3.1 with 
--enable-brlapi and had it running when I installed garnome and started 
gnome. The version of Gnopernicus in Garnome does not seem to support 
brltty properly. So I got the latest version from CVS and installed that 
with --enable-brltty=yes. Now I got the message "Cannot open brlapi 
conmnection"
, which the Garnome version did not give. So I finally got the 
authentication key in the right place, and now it works, sort of. 
Gnopernicuys starts after a long wait, and the braille display (a Braille 
Lite 40) works properly. However, keystrokes on the Braille Lite, except 
for the advance bars, have no effect. I have confirmed that CONTROLVT is 
set corectly. What should I check next?

In the long term, I hope to do some development work on Gnopernicus, 
specifically, inttroducing a blinking cursor and Grade 2 translation.

Thanks,
John
