Actually, it does. Note that your default of 480x135 is essentially double the defualt of 240x67 that I adopted some years ago. I guess that's the width:height ratio that looks good for sighted people. Note that there's nothing wrong with a width or height that exceeds 255 within the kernel. It's just a limitation imposed on the interface to the kernel (the vcs devices) that brltty uses. -- 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 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://mielke.cc/xmother.html (Letter from a Feminist ex-Mother) _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
