Hello Aldo and the others, Ok, Aldo. I will wait untel the etch-version of this script is comming out.
Perhaps another suggestion: Where you have the file on the cd with all teh shortcuts foor the braille-devices , it will be a good idea I think to add a comment line above each alias to say in wordts which braille-display will start , with the specific port and braille-table. What do you tink about this? best regards, William On Thu, Aug 17, 2006 at 10:28:43AM +0200, Aldo wrote: > Hi William and all, > > On Thu, Aug 17, 2006 at 12:18:24AM +0200, William Windels wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I have done a little test with the release of yesterday. > > > > Just 2 marks about booting[6~ with the option william: > > > > I have done 4 tests but nothing works: > > first: I typed william (in azerty-style and after reboot and beeps in > > querty-style). > > This has no result on my vaio. > > > > second: I have done the same tests but on the other usb-port of my laptop. > > Also with no result. > > > > Perhaps strange but when the cd was stopped making noise, I was able to > > open > > the cdrom-drive while the computer was not rebooted. > > > > When I was trying the cdrom on my desktop with the aldo-option for my alva > > 480, it works fine. > > > > What about the problem with the william-option? > > There is no problem with it; the problem is a general USB support > problem due to the fact that the Sarge installer doesn't use the udev > (this will be standard under the Etch). > > So can I ask you to enter at the beeeeps the correct params for your USB > device, and fwd us an output of echo $brltty > > Or, as far as you know, can you confirm if the USB cheatcodes as > specified in the william conf or other choices in the isolinux.cfg (cf. > CD) are correct?
