What do you mean by preferences? There are system-wide defaults (that are defined in /etc/brltty.conf), and there are user-specific settings (that are stored in /var/lib/brltty/brltty.prefs). It's the latter - the user-specific settings - that are commonly known as preferences because they can be (and really should be) modified from the braille device itself via brltty's Preferences Menu. There's a way to do it from brltty.conf - with the override-preference directive - but that should only be done when absolutely necessary because it undoes changes made within the menu. >Is there a way to reverse the functions of the two rocker bars on the Power >Braille 80?

Assuming a normal install, you should be able to find it at: /etc/brltty/Input/ts/pb80.ktb -- 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 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
