Re: [orca-list] Orca and braille display

hi
I have no idea what might be going wrong with fedora, but sonar sounds
like brltty isn't staying operational long enough for the braille
display to work. This should work, but I've noticed some serious issues
with brltty in the past couple of weeks. It will restart itself
continuously in a loop. I know this because each time it starts it
speaks it's name and version, and then a few seconds later repeats
itself. I'd recommend this user use talking arch in the meantime if his
braille display works the best there until I can sort out exactly what's
going on. It's probably something I have done trying to get brltty to
work as a console screen reader. I may end up having to drop this if I
can't get it to work and just use brltty for braille displays. The last
thing I want to do is make it so that people with braille displays can't
use them.
Thanks
