Hi. I hope someone out there is getting these. I did more research, and
my problem seems to be similar to the one here on this page from the
list archive: [BRLTTY] Humanware driver and USB HID
<https://brltty.app/pipermail/brltty/2021-March/018163.html>
My Brailliant repeatedly shows "braille driver restarting, and from the
look of my /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file, the Braille driver isn't
working at all. Here are the relevant lines from that file:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=480 MxCh= 0

E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=87(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 28 Ivl=4ms
I would really like to get this working so I can use my Braille display.
Please let me know what I need to do to fix it. Thanks.

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.
