[no subject]

I know that this question seems like a faq but before asking for your help,
I made sure twice I really did all what I read in the documentation.

So, here is my configuration :

	- linux mandrake 9.2 on a Compaq DeskPro with 512 mb of ram and PIII
processor running at 750 mHz;
	- brltty rev. 3.3.1 compiled with --enable-api and driving a
braillex ELba, (Papenmeier braille display with 32 cells);
	- gnopernicus 0.7.0 with all gnome accessibility features installed,
comprising the java access bridge.
	- The used TTS is festival 1.4.3 but due to problem with my
soundboard, it really speaks too fast, (like a tape going twice its speed).

When I launch "startx", gnopernicus is really launched and begins to speak
but here is what I receive on stderr.
-------------------

GTK Accessibility Module initialized

brl_open_device: open device failed
** BRAILLE initialization failed for BRLTTY on port 1
   To change one or more settings use gnopernicus UI

(srcore:5924): gnopernicus-WARNING **: Callbacks are NOT supported by "V0
Kevin - Festival GNOME Speech Driver" voice.
gnopernicus-Message: speech initialization succeded
-----------------

First, I checked for the presence of /etc/brlapi.key. It's really here and I
can read it.

Then, I used the "gconftool-2" command as stated in brltty's
"README.gnopernicus" file in order to let gnopernicus use the brltty API.

Then, I wrote a .xinitrc file in my home directory as follows :
--------------------
#!/bin/sh

# Define environment variables.
GARNOME=/usr # garnome is not installed on this computer
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
GDK_USE_XFT=1
GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge
export PYTHONPATH GDK_USE_XFT GTK_MODULES

# Configure Gnome.
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility
true

# Tell Gnopernicus which virtual terminal is being used by the X display.
# This is a bit complicated so cut-and-paste (rather than retype) it.
CONTROLVT="$(grep "using VT number" "/var/log/XFree86.$(echo "$DISPLAY" |
sed -e "s/^.*::*\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/").log" | sed -e "s/^.*using VT number
\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/")"
# I added next lines to print the value of CONTROLVT
echo -n "=*=*=* The CONTROLVT variable was set to "
echo -n $CONTROLVT
echo " =*=*=*"
export CONTROLVT

# Start the Gnome session.
exec $GARNOME/bin/gnome-session
------------------

When the X session start, I can notice that the CONTROLVT variable is set to
7.

So, what may be causing this braille initialization problem?

Is there a way in which gnopernicus could be more precise at init time when
an error occurs?

Many thanks in advance. Have a nice day. Chris
