Without seeing the traceback, it's hard to say. You could paste it so we
can look. Thanks!

hi
Well, I know part of the problem. Looking through my logs, there's a
traceback when the contracted braille switch is turned on, in liblouis.
I'm not sure if this means it's a liblouis error or orca's code that
interfaces with it.
Thanks

hi all
Storm sent me an old braille sense to test braille support on. It's a
lot more fiddly than I would like, but this is not an orca issue. You
have to change the permissions on the brlapi.key file before orca can
communicate with the display. However there is one issue with this
particular display. It doesn't seem to support contracted braille.
When I attempt to enable contracted braille in orca's braille
settings, the display goes blank and no longer keeps up with orca. If
I disable the option, orca can once again talk to the display. I have
had no problems with the display keeping up, I've used various
applications without issue. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a
display issue or a liblouis or brltty issue? I hope I'm not wasting
anyone's time, I'm very new to braille support so I could be missing
something obvious. I did change teh contraction table to en-uebg2,
followed by pressing the ok button. This is with orca master,
completely up to date, and sonar linux, also up to date, version 16.07.
Thanks
