No setting is automatically changed for any reason. >This is something I find quite problematic, especially when using computers >with a braille display I don't know.

I understand the problem, but I don't think forcing autospeak on if a speech driver has been selected is a good thing to do. Many users want speech on demand and wouldn't appreciate it being imposed on them. I'm open to suggestions, though. I'm not a speech user so it's entirely possible that my understanding of all of the issues isn't very good. Perhaps others can comment on this issue as well. >When I start my computer without a braille display, I find that BRLTTY is very >unresponsive and does sometimes delay actions or doubles typed letters. This >does not happen when I start BRLTTY explicitly with `-b no` or with a braille >display is attached. I suppose this has to do with BRLTTY searching for a >display. Yes, that's what it seems like. An additional test would be to try using -b to specify the specific driver but not have the braille device connected. I suspect that'd be a lot better because brltty is then only trying one driver instead of trying to autodetect all of them. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
