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

[Vojtěch Polášek <krecoun gmail com>]

Hi,
Orca is not working with braille again. Is there any example program to
test brlapi connections etc?
Brltty shows that connection (probably from Orca) has been established
successfully, however, I get no output, still showing "Screen not in
text mode".
Could you please help me? I need id as soon as possible.
Using orca from official Arch repo doesn't work, orca from git doesn't
work as well.
Thanks,
Vojta
