Hi all. I wanted to add some more details here. I've been trying to get
my Braille display working and did some editing to the config file. I
noticed that earlier today, I was actually getting some Braille in my
XSession, I guess through Orca, but the whole time, Brltty was also
flashing "BRLTTY 6.6" and "braille driver restarting". I wasn't sure if
I had specified my Braille driver in the config, so I went and did that.
I also found the serial number for my Braille display and entered that.
Now, though, my display doesn't seem to be working at all. I'm seeing a
lot of journald messages about a USB configuration set error 16. I'm
about to try Bluetooth and see if that works.

Hi all. I've been trying to get Brltty working better on my computer,
a laptop running Arch Linux, and I have a few questions that I'm
hoping someone can help with. First, I'm using Brltty to get Braille
in the TTY but another screen reader, Fenrir, for speech. I'm
concerned with Braille-related issues here, though, so that shouldn't
matter.
There are times when I've started my computer, and gone to a TTY when
"BRLTTY 6.6" repeatedly flashes on my Braille display, a HumanWare
Brailliant BI 40X. Once when it did this, I think I also caught the
words "braille driver restarting" flashing right afterward, although
it was so brief that I could be wrong. How can I fix this? My Braille
display is connected via USB and I believe I have brltty.conf set up
correctly.
Second, is it possible to type with Brltty using contracted Braille? I
have my Braille table set to contracted, but I still need to use
computer Braille to type.
Finally, I want to set it up so I can use my Braille display during my
XSession. I use Orca as my screen reader then. Right now as I type
this, my Brailliant is flashing "BRLTTY 6.6" and in between that I see
"screen not in text mode". Braille is enabled in Orca preferences. I
read the man page for xbrlapi but still didn't understand how to set
it up. Can anyone help with this?
I apologize for the long email. Thanks for your help.
