Hi Michel, as stated in this email: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2013-May/msg00215.html
You can start dosemu like this: dosemu -dumb Or, edit /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf replacing: # $_video = "vga" by: $_video = "none" this works because as indicated few lines above in this file: # Video adapter style used: one of: vga, ega, mda, mga, cga, none # Default: "vga"; none=dumb terminal mode. This works both in console (or text) mode and in a graphical environment like MATE. Caveat: dosemu ca't be killed the usual way (Ctrl+C, or in Mate: F4) You an kill it on the command line: killall dosemu or closing the window in MATE (for instance Ctrl+Shift+q for mate-terminal) PS As I do not have a Braille device (and can't read Braille anyway) I have tested starting brltty like this: brltty -b tt -d /dev/tty3 and checking the output in tty3.
