Re: Starting brltty on edgy ubuntu-powerpc

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

On the latest Ubuntu Edgy on my x86 laptop, I get BrlTTY 3.7.2 to work
with my Baum Vario 40 display using the following command as root:

brltty -d/dev/ttyUSB0

I noticed in the past that the brand of USB<->Serial converter made a
difference.  The one I use is the Keyspan USA-19HS (www.keyspan.com),
and it seems to work the best across all platforms.

Hope this helps,

Will
