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

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Sorry for the double posting.
I should have checked this before writing. On my arch install the file 
/etc/brlapi.key already exists without medoing something related to it. 
It's owned by root:brlapi . So in order to get proper permissions you 
should add the user running orca to the group brlapi. Typically that 
would be your user and also gdm user if you like.

Greetings

Peter
