Re: Problem to activate braille support in Gnopernicus

[Jacob Schmude <jschmude adelphia net>]

Hi
Set the CONTROLVT environment variable to the number of your
X console, this is usually 7. Set it like this:
export CONTROLVT=7
Also, it's probably best if you take the gnopernicus command-line
options away and just configure it through the menu system of gnopernicus.
