Am I correct, then, that you're using the X environment? If so, then the problem is most likely that xbrlapi isn't running. X has its own way of reading what's being typed. Brltty doesn't handle that directly, but, rather, needs xbrlapi to be monitoring the X keyboard and sending it, via BrlAPI, what's being typed. You'd also need Orca running in order for the X environment to be interpreted correctly. You might try going to brltty.app, clicking on Documentation, and then on BRLTTY with X11. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
