[orca-list] solved: contracted braille now works on my borrowed braille sense



hi all

I've managed to solve the problem where turning on "enable contracted braille" in orca's settings would cause the display to go blank. It turned out to be a liblouis problem like joanie thought. For arch users, the maintainer of the liblouis package needs to add the "--enable-ucs4" option to the pkgbuild in the "./configure" line, and change the "make" command to "make -j1". That'll solve the problem. Liblouis needs updating also, the arch package is on 2.6.5, when version 3.0 is out. For anyone who uses sonar I've already done this, and you just need to watch for a liblouis update. Well, to be completely honest the manjaro people figured out the problem I was stumped and didn't know what to do, so thanks to them contracted braille should now work. I'm not sure about vinux users, are you guys on liblouis v3.0 yet? I suspect if not, luke will push an update to his accessibility PPA so you shouldn't have to do anything but wait for an update.


Thanks

Kendell Clark
