Per You need to do two things: The first is to speciofy the desired contraction table either via the -c command line option or via the contraction-table brltty.conf directive. If, for example, your friend would like to use US Grade 2 braille, then the contraction table would be en-us-g2. So:
* On the command line: -c en-us-g2 * In brltty.conf: contraction-table en-us-g2 The second is to turn six-dot mode on. For the Power Braille, the TSI driver's pb.kti file contains the following definition: bind Bar1+Bar2+LeftRockerDown SIXDOTS If six-dot mode is off then you always get eight-dot computer braille as defined by the currently selected text table (-t or text-table). If six-dot mode is on then there are two possibilities. If a contraction table is defined (-c or contraction-table) then it's used - if one isn't then the computer braille text table is used but dots 7 and 8 are cleared. >and no additional flashing characters Which characters are "flashing"? I did edit the brltty.conf file with contraction-table en-us-g2 I also added a text table, but neither of these helped. I will try the above key sequence to turn on six-dot braille. The extra flashing characters are colons and dots for two.
