Re: [orca-list] Orca not working with braille display

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I have no braille display so this is just a wild guess based on what 
I've came accross in the email discussions.
I think you need to setup a brlapi keys so the user running orca has 
appropriate permissions to talk to brltty.

See here for the official docs on this:
http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/Manual-BrlAPI/English/BrlAPI-4.html

I think the file /etc/brlapi.key should include arbitrary data, by 
reading this list archives I've found out a post by Jason White 
explaining that you can do something like the following to create that file

mcookie > /etc/brlapi.key

Greetings

Peter
